Rotary Lobe Expander technology

  • Rotary lobe engines are widely used like air motors for contineous work like winches mining pneumatic engines etc
  • The performance is related to pressure rather than mass flow (main difference in comparison to turbines screw / scroll solutions
  • N ear frictionless torque producing motor parts r esulting in long and maintenance free lifetime
  • C ompletely enclosed motor casing without leakage and integrated shaft seal
  • C ompact design and freedom of installation
  • Can accept mixture of liquid and gas ( the system pump creates the pressure

Working principle Rotary Lobe Expander

  • Straight flow through
  • The small rotor has just a sealing function
  • The big rotor axis to mechanical power
  • Because of the pressure difference the lobes turn in oposite direction
  • Depending on gas properties, (EXPANSION RATIO) adaptation of inlet outlet dimensions (asymetric design)
