The guided-rotor compressor (GRC) is a positive-displacement rotary
gas compressor. The compression volume is defined by the
trochoidally rotating rotor mounted on an eccentric drive shaft with a typical 80 to 85%
adiabatic efficiency.
History
The development of the GRC started in 1990 to minimize the use of compressor valve plates and springs by using simple inlet/discharge ports.
Uses
The guided-rotor compressor is under research as a
hydrogen compressor for
hydrogen stations and
hydrogen pipeline transport.
