- Abstract
- Limaçon machines are positive displacement fluid processing machines that belong to the rotary machine family. The limaçon machines can be utilized as expanders to extract work from the working fluid or as compressors to provide energy to the working fluid. The main components of the limaçon machine that are directly involved in fluid processing are the housing and rotor, the construction of which are of either limaçon of Pascal curves or circular curves. One distinct feature of the limaçon machine is the limaçon motion of the rotor; the rotor rotates about and slides along a pole, o, inside a housing during the machine operation. Of important note is the motion of the machine rotor inside the housing always follows the limaçon motion irrespective of their profiles. In this paper, different designs and embodiments of the limaçon machine and their advantages and disadvantages have beed discussed, and the research has been carried out on specific applications, i.e., expander and compressor including the work done on fluid induction, sealing and leakages, porting, and inlet and outlet valve control of such machines. © 2022 American Institute of Physics Inc..
