Abstract
A vane latching mechanism for unloading a rotary vane compressor is described. Mechanical unloading is proposed as a potential alternative to electronic control of motor speed for variable compressor capacity. Performance of a demonstration compressor operating at part capacity in a residential air conditioning system is described.
