Development of an oil-free swing vane compressor with liquid refrigerant injection by Heng, Kim Rui

“…A conventional compressor in a vapour-compression refrigeration system often requires the extensive use of active oil lubrication to ensure reliable operations. The use of active oil lubrication, however, has resulted in the low portability and poor compactness of current compressors because the lubrication system often requires components such as the oil filter, oil pump, oil cooler and oil sump. …”

Theoretical and experimental study of a novel compressor by Shakya, Pradeep

“…The mathematical models developed for the studies include the mathematical representations of the geometry of its working chamber, thermodynamics of the working fluid, main flows through the inlet and outlet ports, secondary flows through internal leakages, kinematics and dynamics of the moving parts and lubrication of the rubbing parts. A simulation program was developed in Fortran and the program included the mathematical models developed to predict the performance of CVC. …”

3-D direct printing of silicone meniscus using a novel heat-curing extrusion based silicone printer by Luis Adiwati, Guntur Eric

“…In a future design to the 3D printed meniscus, micro-channels and reservoirs will be incorporated into the meniscus to provide slow release mechanism for drugs, lubricants and growth factors. 3) To incorporate shape memory properties into currently commercially available liquid silicone rubber. …”
