The disclosure discloses a compressor pump body, a compressor and an air conditioner. The compressor pump body includes a sliding vane, a first flange and a second flange. The sliding vane includes a main body. The main body is provided with a first surface and a second surface which are arranged opposite to each other. The first surface abuts against the first flange, and the second surface abuts against the second flange. The first surface and/or the second surface are/is provided with an enlargement portion. An exhaust port is formed in the first flange and/or the second flange. When the sliding vane rotates to sweep the exhaust port, the enlargement portion can prevent two sides of the sliding vane in the rotation direction from communicating by means of the exhaust port.

An arc turbine system includes an elliptical housing, a rotor having two sliding channels positioned centrically to the housing, and two sliding arcs disposed within the rotor sliding channels and slide therein. The sliding arcs are engaging the housing simultaneously at both ends in a near friction-free environment supported by repulsion force of like-pole magnets. Four chambers disposed within two static chambers between the rotor and the long-axis of said housing, the two static chambers further include proper inlet and outlet ports configured to allow fluid and gas flow into and flow out of the static chambers. The system configured in two distinct settings for two distinct uses. 1) To generate dense rotating energy with optimum efficiency, and high power-to-weight ratio by burning fuel and 2) to pump, compress, vacuum, convey, pressurize, turbocharge, allow precision and micro-movement of gas and liquid, conversion of pressurized gas and liquid to rotating energy, all with optimum efficiency, near-zero vibration, near-zero friction, capability of handling all viscous fluids and 100% increased flow rate using dual inlet and dual outlet ports.

The invention relates to a rotary sliding vane machine (1) for fluid processing, comprising a housing (2) with a cavity (4) with a rotor (9). Vanes (12) are arranged in outwardly directed slots (13) in the rotor (9), and relative sliding between the vanes and the rotor provides spaces with variable volumes in the rotational direction. Each vane is supported by a vane bearing apparatus (102) comprising a slide bearing body (105) with a slot (13) forming a slide bearing for the vane (12), and a cylindrical convex face (116) facing away from the slot (13), and, on each side of the slot (13), a pivot bearing pad (106) with a cylindrical concave face (117) facing the slide bearing convex face (116), forming a pivot bearing for the vane.

The invention provides an sliding contact single vane rotary vacuum pump in which an oil supply passage is placed in the centre of the rotating vane through which a lubricating oil flows, which provides oil distribution in the pump chamber with enhanced suction pressure of 39%; and the torque exertion by 2.86-7.63%, this helps in reducing the torque of the pump during maximum vacuum condition and results in reduction of the power consumption of the vacuum pump which in-turn decreases the net load on the automotive engine, thus reduces the peak torque, the pump internal chamber pressure and also results better vacuum suction performance.

A compressor includes a rotary shaft, a rotating body, a fixed body, a vane, and a compression chamber. The vane has a vane end that contacts the surface of fixed body. The fixed body surface includes two curved surfaces. The curved surface includes a convex surface and a concave surface. The convex surface has a convex surface inner end and a convex surface outer end. The curvature of the convex surface inner end is greater than the curvature of the convex surface outer end. The concave surface has a concave surface inner end and a concave surface outer end. The curvature of the concave surface inner end is greater than the curvature of the concave surface outer end.

A rotor assembly has a vane which engages an eccentric cam block using an insert. The insert is removably attached to the vane. The vane is captured within a transverse slot in the rotor and executes reciprocal motion transversely to the axis of rotation of the rotor as the rotor rotates.
