Advances in Positive Displacement Compressors

Dear Colleagues,

The use of positive displacement compressors became more prominent during the Industrial Revolution. Since then, they have been introduced in many aspects of society and industry today, such as air compression, petrochemicals, heating and cooling applications, etc. Similarly, research and development on positive displacement compressors have also come a long way, adapting to humankind’s ever-changing needs. At the turn of the 21^st century, with increased emphasis on energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, advancements in positive displacement compressors are crucial to ensure the environment’s liveability for future generations.

This Special Issue aims to document and keep track of current state-of-the-art research on positive displacement compressors. It can even inspire and spur greater efforts to further advance the development of these compressors. We are pleased to invite you to contribute original research on positive displacement compressors such as modelling, experimentation, design and optimization, new design features or mechanisms, etc.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome
