comprex

[HomoFaber]

guys,
I`ve been looking for comprex dimensions; do you have any idea what its diameter and length and port diameters could be?
or, any tip where could I find a sketch / drawing?
thanks

check Heywood page 271 through 273 - it's a good start for the information.

Here's a COMPREX supercharger on a CAT diesel:

Also, as a side note, both Pratt & Whitney and Allison are working on Wave Rotor PDE's that are similar to the COMPREX supercharger.

thanks scott & terry;
I have already checked heywood; especially the chart seems to be useful. I`m studying related chapters in horlock&winterbone right now.
further, I`m seeking gyarmathy`s SAE paper on comprex.
I have also found a paper dealing with the design of press.exhcanger, but it seems to be pretty lengthy and laboriuos :-(
