Side channel compressor

摘要

A side channel compressor comprises an inlet port (42) for gas and an outlet port (44) for compressed gas as well as a side channel (32) which provides a flow connection between the inlet port (42) and the outlet port (44), the cross-section of the side channel (32) diminishing between the inlet port (42) and the outlet port (44). The side channel (32) has at least one section in which it has a cross-section in the form of a half ellipse and in which the maximum depth of the channel (32) continuously diminishes towards the outlet port (44).
