Résumé

Screw compressors are commonly used for industrial and commercial gas processing and refrigeration. These machines are known to be able to admit mixtures of gasses and liquids to a certain concentration. In oil injected compressors, oil is mostly injected in the working domain to seal, cool and lubricate. But would the injection of atomized oil or other liquid in the suction of the compressor be useful for better control of the discharge temperature and reduction in energy consumption, is still to be determined. Similarly, liquid neutral to the process may be injected in an oil free compressor suction to help controlling discharge temperature. It can be erosive and corrosive to the compressor rotors. Therefore mapping a two phase suction flow of a screw compressor may help in understanding the means to improve compressors efficiency and reliability. This paper is the initial phase of PhD program to determine the multiphase flow characteristic at suction of twin screw compressors by means of experimental techniques. Review of most common and up to date measurement techniques in field of multiphase flow was carried out to determine their suitability and feasibility. Also Modelling of single and multiphase flow at the suction domain of a twin screw compressor were performed in order to have a better understanding of flow distribution. The research is performed on an oil free screw compressor with "N" rotor profiles of 128 mm and configuration of 3/5 lobes with L/D of 1.6 and 93 mm centre distance. A simplified CFD model of only suction domain which reduces computational time was compared with the CFD model of the entire compressor and it was found that it predicts most of flow features with same accuracy. The experimental study which will be used to validate the CFD model has been presented.
