Identification of Constraints in the Optimal Generation of Screw Compressor Rotors by the Pressure Angle Method
نویسنده
چکیده
The profile gradient method has been recently introduced as a means of generating screw compressor rotor profiles. As a single parameter method, this procedure is convenient for the optimisation of screw compressor rotors and evaluating their quality. In this paper, the procedure is modified to adopt the pressure angle instead the profile gradient and applied to a screw compressor rotor rack. Optimisation constraints are analysed and an example of optimal profile generation is presented.

CFD grid generation and analysis of screw compressor with variable geometry rotors
This paper presents development of an algebraic grid generation algorithm applicable to Finite Volume Method for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculation of variable pitch twin screw machines. It is based on the principles developed for the uniform pitch rotors with constant cross-section profile. The same algorithm could be also used for rotors with variable profile geometry.

متن کاملParametric study on axial compressor performance in design condition
In This paper, a parametric study of compressor performances was performed by streamline curvature method (SLC). Effects of three input parameters in design process, e.g., number of blades, distribution of blade thickness, and blade sweep angels, on the main objective parameters in aerodynamic design, e.g., velocity distribution, efficiency and pressure ratio, has been investigated in the param...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Fluid Flow and Solid Structure in Screw Compressors
Screw compressor performance is usually predicted by thermodynamic and fluid flow calculations based on a dimensionless flow model. However factors, which affect the power consumption, delivery and reliability of these machines, such as dynamic flow losses, leakage and oil flow drag, are not estimated accurately by such procedures. By the use of 3-D numerical modelling of the compressor fluid f...
متن کاملTool Wear and Its Compensation in Screw Rotor Manufacturing
Since screw compressor rotors are of a helical shape and tool points engaged in their manufacturing pass different cutting length, the tools do not wear uniformly along the rotor profiles. The nonuniformity depends on a difference between the rotor point angle and pressure angle and on the rotor helix angle. A difference in relative movement between the tool and the rotors with and without the ...
متن کاملMultifunctional Screw Compressor Rotors
For many years the authors have been investigating the use of twin screw machines to fulfil both the expansion and compression. One of potential advantages of screw machines over other types of positive displacement machine is their ability to perform both the compression and expansion functions simultaneously, using only one pair of rotors. A further feature is the use of the rotors which seal...
