A rotary compressor includes a roller that is provided with oil grooves concavely formed in a centrifugal direction from an inner circumferential surface of the roller facing an eccentric portion. The oil grooves are disposed at positions not overlapping an intake and a discharge port in an axial direction.

Some implementations of this invention relate to energy systems and more particularly to rotating componentry enabling shaft work, propulsion drive, electric power generation, jet propulsion and/or thermodynamic systems related to aerothermodynamic thrust and shaft power, waste heat recovered shaft power, ventilation, cooling, heat, pressure and/or vacuum generating devices. Some implementations pertain to the art of vane assemblies for eccentrically placed rotating partial admission compressors and expanders that may either be used together or in conjunction with other mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and/or pneumatic machineries. Some implementations further relate to fluid energy recovery mechanical devices, targeting the field of gas turbine engines, internal combustion engines, furnaces, rotary kilns, coolers and refrigeration rotary components and/or expansion nodes. Other implementations are described.

A compression mechanism that can suppress generation of galling and seizure is provided. The compression mechanism includes a bush 60 including a first sliding surface 61 sliding with an inner surface 45a of a bush hole 45 and a second sliding surface 63 sliding with a side surface 52a of a blade of a piston, and includes at least one of a first bulge 62 formed on one of the first sliding surface 61 and the inner surface 45a such that a gap X between the first sliding surface 61 and the inner surface 45a gradually decreases toward a direction in which lubricant Y is drawn between the first sliding surface 61 and the inner surface 45a along with rocking of the bush 60, and a second bulge 64 formed on the second sliding surface 63 such that the gap X between the second sliding surface 63 and the side surface 52a gradually decreases toward a direction in which the lubricant Y is drawn between the second sliding surface 63 and the side surface 52a along with forward and backward movement of the blade.
