Calculated and experimental characteristics of a scroll machine operating in the air motor mode

Resumo

The results of mathematical modeling, numerical experiments, and full-scale tests of a scroll machine operating in the air motor mode are presented. The mechanical and discharge characteristics, as well as values of the mechanical and exergetic efficiencies, have been obtained for different supply pressures. The high energy efficiency of the scroll motor under consideration in comparison to other types of air (pneumatic) motors is demonstrated.
