A vane rotary compressor has a cylinder. A main bearing and a sub bearing are coupled to the cylinder forming a compression space. The main and sub bearing each have a back pressure pocket on a surface facing the cylinder. The main bearing and the sub bearing radially support a rotation shaft. A roller coupled to the shaft is disposed within the compression space. The roller has circumferentially spaced vane slots, each vane slot extending from an open end on an outer circumferential surface of the roller to a back pressure chamber disposed within the roller at an opposite end of each vane slot. A plurality of vanes slide within the vane slots and divide the compression space into compression chambers. At least one of the back pressure chambers in the vane slots fluidly communicates with at least one of the back pressure pockets in the main and sub bearings.

A low-backpressure rotary compressor includes a shell, a compression mechanism, an oil separator for separating oil and gas from a refrigerant discharged from the cylinder, and an oil pool for collecting a lubricating oil separated by the oil separator. The compression mechanism includes a cylinder assembly, a piston, a sliding vane, main and supplementary bearings. The cylinder has a sliding vane chamber which has an oil supply hole, and a trailing end of the sliding vane stretches into or out of the sliding vane chamber when the sliding vane moves reciprocatingly, such that an interior volume of the sliding vane chamber changes between a maximum volume V2 and a minimum volume V1. The oil pool communicates with the oil supply hole via an oil supply path for the sliding vane, and a ratio of the minimum volume V1 to the maximum volume V2 satisfies the following relationship: 35%V1/V285%.

The invention comprises a method for heating a fluid in an engine, including: a rotor rotating relative to a stator about a shaft and a set of vanes extending radially outward, relative to an elongated axis of the shaft, between the rotator and the stator, the set of vanes separating a set of expansion chambers, where the method comprises the steps of: (1) applying a shear force to the fluid to form a gas with a rotatable chamber within the shaft of the engine; and (2) exhausting the gas from the shaft to a rotor-vane chamber, the rotor-vane chamber comprising a void in a vane slot on a shaft side of a first vane, of the set of vanes. Optionally, the gas applies a rotation force by passing the gas from the first vane to a trailing expansion chamber of the set of expansion chambers.

A rotating device includes a cylinder body, a front end cover, a rear end cover, a main shaft, an eccentric rotor assembly and an isolation mechanism. The eccentric rotor assembly includes an eccentric shaft, a rolling piston wheel and at least one rolling bearing. In the rotating device, the eccentric shaft is isolated from the rolling piston wheel by the rolling bearing and the two are rotated, and the cylinder body is reliably sealed by an elastic pre-tightening force. Further provided are a rotor compressor using the rotating device, and a fluid motor. A rotating valve body and a rotating valve body reset mechanism in the rotating device are also improved.

A gas compressor comprises a rotor having vane grooves, a cylinder shaped to surround an outer circumference of the rotor, vanes plate-shaped, slidably inserted into the vane grooves, and abuttable at one ends on the inner circumference of the cylinder, upon receiving a back pressure from the vane grooves, two side blocks to enclose both ends of the rotor and the cylinder, respectively, compression chambers supplied with a medium to compress the medium to a high-pressure medium for discharge, an oil separator to separate, from the discharged high-pressure medium, oil to be used as the back pressure, an oil path through which the oil at a certain pressure is supplied to the vane grooves, and a high-pressure supply hole formed in at least one of the side blocks, including a small diameter portion and a large diameter portion integrally formed.
