title = "Spool compressor tip seal design considerations",
abstract = "The rotary spool compressor is a novel compressor type which combines various aspects of rotary and reciprocating devices. The tip seal of this compressor is a dynamic sealing element which should be well understood for maximum performance. An analysis which combines the hydrodynamic film theory balanced with the tip seal dynamics is presented. This model is explored over a variety of tip seal radii, widths, and mechanical spring rates. The experimental volumetric efficiency of a prototype compressor with various seal radii and mechanical spring rates is compared against the model predicted results and shows similar trends.",
