Side channel compressors - How they work

Side channel compressors increase the pressure or negative pressure of the sucked gas by means of a series

of turbulences generated by centrifugal force in the peripheral lateral canal.

The rotation of the impeller causes the gas in the individual chambers to rotate,

while the centrifugal force generated in the process pushes the gas outwards into the side channel.

In this way, spiral turbulences are created. During these turbulences, the

gas is repeatedly compressed, which increases the pressure increase along the entire length of the side channel to

. The rotating parts of the ring compressor do not touch the housing. Since there is a

If there are no friction losses, lubrication is neither necessary nor permissible.

The compression process is absolutely oil-free, and the gas is not contaminated.
