Abstract

An external axial rotary piston blower for quarter-roller type of construction with transfer ports leading to the outlet in the casing runway surfacing or inner peripheral surface of the housing with length differing relative to each other and increasing cross section differing toward the outlet, the greatest length of which can be permitted to be dimensioned or measured only such that the transfer ports are first opened when the inlet is closed-off by the piston traversing the same.

Claims

1. An external axial rotary piston blower having two pistons each with dual-vane configuration identical relative to each other respectively having cylinder surfaces with outer peripheral large radius of the pistons along inner peripheral surfacing of a blower housing formed by cylinders intersecting each other at location of inlet and outlet openings relative thereto and each having cylinder surfaces with centrally located small radius of the pistons running complementary into meshing engagement among each other, comprising:

transfer port means cut into the inner peripheral surfacing in circumferential direction on both sides of the outlet and opening therein, said transfer port means having a beginning and widening dimensionally as far as to a predetermined greatest length dimension toward said outlet and having different length and width among each other so that said transfer port means reach and grasp all possible disturbing noise frequencies arising therewith so as to avoid strong exhaust noise discharging from the blower even as noise development increases with increasing speed of the blower.

2. A rotary piston blower according to claim 1, wherein said transfer port means are rounded-off at said beginning thereof.

3. A rotary piston blower according to claim 2, wherein the greatest length dimension of the transfer port means is determined thereby that the beginning location thereof lies at a following corner of a vane of said piston traversing this transfer port means in a position of said piston in which a preceding corner of the other vane of said piston closes-off a control edge of the inlet opening.

4. A rotary piston blower according to claim 3, wherein the greatest length dimension of a transfer port means is reduced by an amount of 1 to 5 mm.
