A new single screw compressor design that enables a new manufacturing process.

Author(s) : JENSEN D.

Summary

Existing single screw compressor designs, while offering promises of high efficiency and low noise, require manufacturing processes that are laborious, inflexible and expensive. It is believed that these manufacturing issues have played a role in limiting the commercialization of the single screw compressor. A new single screw compressor design has been developed that enables the main rotor to be machined on commercially available 5-axis computer numerically controlled machining centers. These machines allow the manufacture of a large variety of main rotor types and sizes.
