- Abstract
- This chapter presents the limaçon rotary positive displacement machine that can be employed for energy production (i.e., as a gas expander) and energy consumption (i.e., as a compressor or a pump) with equal ease and effectiveness. The limaçon machine offers a straightforward technology, which has occurred to many creative minds as evident by patents which can be traced back to the 19th century. The chapter begins with a background on the limaçon technology and the unique features of limaçon machines. Then the focus will be on different embodiments of such machines followed by the details of how the machines’ geometries are defined mathematically. Different housing and rotor profiles and the relative motion, as well as the required housing-rotor clearance, will also be featured in this chapter. © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
