Abstract
A vane-type rotary compressor having wear and seizure resistance is disclosed comprising a cam ring having a cylindrical interior, a rotor rotatably installed in said cam ring, a vane arranged on the circumference of said rotor for radial movement toward and left from inner periphery of said cylindrical interior of said cam ring, and a pair of plates secured to corresponding front and rear portions of said cam ring to cover it, said cam ring and said rotor being formed of silicon rich aluminium alloy containing 12 to 20 wt % of silicon, said pair of plates being formed of aluminium or aluminium alloy, and said vane being formed of ferric sintered materials containing 3 to 8 wt % of carbon.
Claims3
A vane-type rotary compressor having wear and seizure resistance, comprising:
- a cam ring having a cylindrical interior;
- a rotor rotatably installed in said cam ring;
- a vane arranged on the circumference of said rotor for radial movement toward and away from the inner periphery of said cylindrical interior of said cam ring;
- a pair of plates secured to corresponding front and rear portions of said cam ring to cover it;
- said cam ring and said rotor being formed of silicon rich aluminum alloy containing 12 to 20 wt % silicon;
- said pair of plates being formed of aluminum or aluminum alloy;
- said vane being formed of ferric sintered materials containing 3 to 8 wt % carbon;
- and
- wherein the silicon content included in said cam ring and said rotor is determined in relation with the carbon content included in said vane for establishing effective wear and seizure resistance.
