Abstract
A vane compressor has a plurality of vanes that are radially translatable and have outer ends. The vanes create zones between each pair of adjacent vanes, each zone having a given area. The vane compressor also has an axis about which the vanes rotate and an outlet for expelling compressed fluid. A first zone immediately following a second zone, which is in register with the outlet, has the same area as the second zone.
