Abstract

This paper presents a method of general geometrical definitions of screw machine rotors and their manufacturing tools. It describes the details of lobe shape specification, and focuses on a new lobe profile, which yields a larger cross-sectional area and shorter sealing lines resulting in higher delivery rates for the same tip speed. A well proven mathematical model was used to determine the optimum profile, compressor housing size, and compressor ports to achieve the superior compressors.
