EFFECT OF DESIGN PARAMETERS ON OIL-FLOODED SCREW COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE.

Author(s) : SINGH P. J., BOWMAN J. L.

Summary

THE PERFORMANCE OF OIL-FLOODED SCREW COMPRESSORS DEPENDS ON ROTOR PROFILE, NUMBER OF LOBES, L/D RATIO, WRAP ANGLE, GEOMETRICAL CLEARANCES, QUANTITY AND LOCATION OF OIL INJECTION, DISCHARGE PORT SIZE AND TIP SPEED. THE PAPER EXAMINES THE EFFECT OF SEVERAL OF THE ABOVE PARAMETERS ON COMPRESSOR SIZE AND PERFORMANCE FOR A GIVEN DISPLACEMENT. PROPRIETARY COMPUTER PROGRAMS ARE USED TO CALCULATE THE GEOMETRICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ROTORS AND COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE. RESULTS SHOW THAT THE PERFORMANCE CAN BE CONSIDERABLY IMPROVED BY PROPER SELECTION OF DESIGN PARAMETERS. SEVERAL PLOTS SHOWING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE PARAMETERS AND COMPRESSOR SIZE AND PERFORMANCE ARE PRESENTED.
