Hoffmann, R M

The objective of the project was to design, fabricate and performance test a low-cost proprietary epitrochoidal compressor prototype for natural gas-fueled engine-driven heat-pump application. The compressor was to be designed for Freon R-22 gas, 28 cu. in./rev displacement, for compression ratios up to 7:1, and speeds up to 4000 rpm with a 5:1 turn-down. Nominal power rating was 10 hp at 1800 rpm.
