A method for computing the compression loads in twin screw compressors.

Author(s) : ADAMS G. P., SOEDEL W.

Summary

An important consideration in the design and analysis of a twin screw compressor is the computation of the rotor loads due to the compression process. A method for computing these compression loads is presented. The compression process is viewed as a quasi-static, polytropic process. The forces and moments on each rotor are computed as a function of the angular position of the rotor. The compression loads are computed by integrating the pressure over the rotor surface. The 3-D helical rotor surface is mapped to a 2-D region for computing the integrals.
