Vapor cycle cooling system
A description is given of a rotary vane cooling system including a two phase coolant, comprising: a vaporizable liquid working medium within said cooling system; an evaporator having an inlet and an outlet; a condenser having an inlet and an outlet; a two stage rotary vane compressor, including means for connecting the outlet of a first compressor stage to the inlet of a second compressor stage; said two stage rotary vane compressor being connected between the outlet of said evaporator and the inlet at said condenser; an expansion device connected between the outlet of said condenser and the inlet of said evaporator; said two stage compressor including a housing having a chamber therein, a rotor on a rotatable shaft; said rotor being positioned within said chamber; said rotor having a plurality of slidable vanes which form a plurality of cells, within said chamber, which change in volume as the rotor rotates; said plurality of cells including a pluraity of cells on one side of said rotor which corresponds to said first compressor stage and a plurality of cells on the other side of said rotor which corresponds to said second compressor stage; said cells corresponding to said first compressor stage having a greater maximum volume than the cells corresponding to said second compressor stage; and means for supplying at least a portion of the vapor resulting from the expansion in said expansion device to the inlet of the second compressor stage for providing cooling in the inlet of said second compressor stage.
