Abstract
The reversing of the direction of rotation of the motor of a fixed vane rotary compressor reverses the direction of rotation of the rolling piston. The rolling piston through viscous friction or frictional torque frictionally engages a reversing disk and causes the reversing disk to move between two positions depending upon the direction of rotation of the rolling piston. The reversing disk has a slot therein which forms the suction inlet and is moved by rotation of the reversing disk so as to be in fluid communication with the plenum which is serving as the suction plenum at that time.
