Accuracy of grinding wheel profile that is generated by form grinding theory and formed by grinding wheel dresser is a crucial factor affecting profile accuracy of screw rotors. A correction method for screw rotor profile error based on parameter adjustment for grinding wheel dresser such as diameter and distance of diamond rollers is proposed. Influence of diameter and distance of diamond rollers on grinding wheel profile and screw rotor profile based on theory of segmented dressing method is analyzed, and the adjustment method for parameters of grinding wheel dresser is presented. The results of the analysis provide a theoretical basis for error correction in screw rotor grinding. Grinding experiments for female rotor were performed due to the character that the female rotor has smooth bottom profile where the change of profile error is easy to observe. The experimental results show that the height difference between the long and short sides of rotor profile at the bottom of the rotor is significantly reduced from 0.22 mm to 0.034 mm by adjusting diameter of diamond rollers, and the distance between the long and short sides of the actual rotor profile is almost consistent with the theoretical one by measuring the distance again and adjusting its value in the computer numerical control system. These results verify the correctness of the correction method.

Rotor profile generation and geometry characteristics play a dominant role in developing twin-screw multi-phase pumps. The aim of this work is to present mathematical procedures to calculate screw rotor profile generation, design rotor cutter tools, and rotor geometry characteristics with given stocks for twin-screw multi-phase pumps. Analyses of the profile generation of a screw rotor for a multi-phase pump are carried out. The resulting rotor profile with different stocks is developed on the basis of the calculation of the forming cutter tool profile. An iso-height contour plot is presented for describing the shape and size of the overlapped cavity of the rotors. By inspecting the iso-height contour plot, analysis of all the possible leakage flow through the inter-lobe clearance is performed. According to the iso-height contour plot, the blowhole provides the major leakage path for the basic chambers through the overlapped cavity. The minimum normal height of the overlapped cavity has a linear relationship with the stock. The larger stocks lead to greater leakage and reduce pump performance. The leakage flow through the overlapped cavity will be aggravated and the performance of the twin-screw multi-phase pump will decline with the increasing lead of the screw rotor.

This paper presents a method for determining the basic profile of a single-screw compressor including a gate rotor and a screw rotor. The inverse envelope concept for determining the cutting-edge curve of the gate rotor is presented. Based on this concept, the required cutter for machining the screw rotor can be obtained by an envelope of the one-parameter family of obtained screw rotors. The obtained screw rotor is an envelope of the family of gate rotor surfaces. Let the obtained envelope of the one-parameter family of gate rotor surfaces become the generating surface. The inverse envelope can be used to obtain the envelope of the family of generating surfaces. Then, the profile of the gate rotor with the cutting-edge curve can be easily obtained. The proposed method shows that the gate rotor and the screw rotor are engaged along the contact line at every instant. This is essential to reduce the effect of leakage on compressor performance. In this paper, a mathematical model of the meshing principle of the screw rotor with the gate rotor is established. As an example, the single-screw compressor for a compressor ratio of 11:6 is determined with the aid of the proposed mathematical model. Results from these mathematical models should have applications in the design of single-screw compressors.

Twin screw vacuum pump is an important kind of dry vacuum pump, which is widely used in the oil-free vacuum system. The design of the screw rotor profile directly influences the working performance and manufacture cost of the screw pumps. In this paper, a new rotor profile for twin screw vacuum pump is introduced which is comprised of the cycloid curve, the dedendum circle arc, the involute curve and the addendum circle arc. The processes of three-dimensional modeling, motion simulation, interference checking and structural optimization for twin screw vacuum pumps are studied by means of Solidworks software. The works provide theoretical basis for optimal designing and reference for test prototype manufacturing. The results showed the performance of the vacuum pump according with the designer’s intention.

This paper presents a method for the design of twin screw compressors and expanders, which is based on a differential algorithm for defining the rotor profile and an analytical model of the fluid flow and thermodynamic processes within the machine. Part I of the paper presents a method for screw rotor profile generation which simplifies and improves design procedures. An example is given of its use in the development of a new “N” rotor profile, which is shown to be superior to other well-known types. Part II describes a numerical model of the thermodynamic and fluid flow processes within screw machines, which is valid for both the compressor and expander modes of operation. It includes the use of the equations of conservation of mass and energy applied to an instantaneous control volume of trapped fluid within the machine with allowance for fluid leakage, oil or other fluid injection, heat transfer, and the assumption of real fluid properties. By simultaneous solution of these equations, pressure-volume diagrams may be derived of the entire compression or expansions, process within the machine. The procedure has been developed over a period of fifteen years and validated with experimental results obtained from both reciprocating and screw compressors and screw expanders, some of which are included. The rotor profile generation processor, thermofluid solver and optimizer, together with preprocessing facilities for the input data and graphical post-processing and CAD interface, have been incorporated into a design package which provided a suitable tool for analysis and optimization of twin screw machine design. An example of its use is given in the optimization of the gate tip radius of a selected compressor design.
