Low pressure coolant (134a) from the evaporator enters the duct arrowed in the bottom figure on the previous page and flows through front flange (24) and ducts (25) to reach the central part of the case where it is compressed under the rotating action of rotor (23) with extending vanes. It then flows through the apertures arrowed in the bottom left hand figure to reach outlet valves (A). It then flows through ducts (arrowed in the bottom right hand figure) in rear flange (18) and conveyer plate (19) to the outlet duct on the outer compressor case.
