Abstract
A compressor includes a stationary housing disposed about a central axis and having a radially inner surface defining a plurality of circumferentially spaced cavities opening into an interior space of the housing. The compressor further includes a plurality of fluid volume control members, each of which is disposed within one of the plurality of cavities and defines a fluid chamber within the cavity sealed relative to the interior space. An eccentric shaft is disposed within the interior space of the housing and configured for rotation about the central axis. A hypocycloid rotor is disposed within the interior space of the housing and supported on the eccentric shaft. The rotor defines a plurality of lobes configured for movement into and out of each cavity responsive to rotation of the shaft to displace the fluid volume control member in each cavity and adjust a volume of each fluid chamber.
