www.mechanology.com Toroidal Intersecting Vane Machine (TIVM) steam expansion visualization. As the animation shows, the volume of each successive expansion chamber grows from small to large. The high pressure steam (red) enters through the inlet port and expands with the growing volume of each expansion chamber. As the steam expands to a lower pressure in one chamber, a new charge of new high pressure steam is entering the following chamber. TIVM Information: The TIVM is an oil-free positive displacement expander utilizing rotating rings of vanes whose intersections dynamically create expansion chambers. As such, the TIVM is more akin to a piston-cylinder system, operating on a volume change with an efficiency that is maintained even at low steam flows. The positive displacement nature of the machine allows it to operate at low speeds (1800-3600 rpm) at which condensation and water droplets will not damage components eliminating the necessity for dry/superheated steam which is a requirement of turbine devices.
