Abstract
A rotary compressor includes a motor which rotates a crankshaft about an axis. The crankshaft includes an eccentric portion disposed in a cylinder which has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A roller is mounted on the eccentric portion to be orbited within the cylinder when the crankshaft rotates, for compressing fluid. The eccentric portion and roller are together movable radially with respect to the axis in response to centrifugal force, so that the roller maintains tight contact with the cylinder.
