Abstract: Rotary vane expander (RVE) is a perspective type of a volumetric expander for small series manufacturing due to its simple geometry and low manufacturing costs. Performance of this type of expander is usually worse in comparison with other volumetric expanders but it can be improved if we understand well the phenomena that occur during expansion within the vane expander.
