OPERATION

  1. Gas is taken in through slot (D) and then expands in compartment (C), which is delimited by vanes (A) and (B).
  2. The new position of vanes (A) and (B) ensures that compartment (C) is at maximum volume. In particular, vane (A) cuts off communication between compartment (C) and slot (D) to complete the intake stage.
  3. Compartment (C) reduces in volume and gas pressure increases: the compression stage thus begins.
  4. Gas pressure increases further until strip valve (E) opens: at this moment the compression stage ends and the exhaust stage begins.
  5. When vanes (A) and (B) take up the position shown in the figure, the exhaust stage is complete.
