With the accuracy improvement of twin-screw compressor rotor machining, higher requirement of crew rotor grinded equipment and grinding process is put forward. Based the theory of screw grinding and CNC forming grinding wheel dress technology, the relationship between machine working parameters, CNC grinding wheel dressing parameters and screw rotor grinded process parameters are investigated, and the relationship between CNC grinding wheel dressing parameters and the screw rotor grinded process parameters is established, and its formulas are presented to describe the distances between grinding wheel axis and screw rotor axis. Through these formulas, the CNC wheel dressing program could be designed easily, the performance and efficiency of machine would be improved, and especially the machining quality of screw rotor would be enhanced and becomes more stability.

Twin-screw compressors are widely used in aerodynamics, refrigeration and other fields. The screw rotors are the core component of the screw compressor and affect the performance of the compressor. This paper focuses on variable-lead rotors. A thermal process simulation model considering leakage is established to calculate the efficiency of the compressor. Different lead change methods are compared by evaluating the contact line, exhaust port and simulation results. The results show that the compressor obtains better performance when the lead decreases rapidly on the discharge side. Furthermore, the effects of the wrap angle and internal volume ratio on variable-lead rotors are studied. The work provides a reference for the design of the screw compressor rotor.

A detailed study of the fluid flow and thermodynamic processes in positive displacement machines requires 3D CFD modeling in order to capture their real geometry, including leakage gaps. However, limitations in the conventional computational grids, used in commercial software packages, exclude their use for classical twin screw machines. The screw compressor rotor grid generator (SCORG) is a customized grid generation tool developed to overcome these limitations. This paper shows how it can be further extended to include non-conventional rotor designs, such as those with variable lead or profile variation and even internally geared machines with conical rotors. Other arrangements possible with this improvement include multiple gate rotors to increase volumetric displacement or dual lead, high wrap angle rotors for very high-pressure differences and vacuum applications. A case study of a water-injected twin screw compressor is included to demonstrate its use for both detailed flow analysis and design.

In this paper, an integral methodology for the modeling of a twin-screw compressor is presented. Starting from a known rotor profile, all the algorithms to calculate the second rotor profile, the size of the control volume, and the compressor's performance are presented. The proposed modeling approach can be applied in an optimization procedure to find the optimal rotor profiles for a given application, with corresponding working conditions. Furthermore, based on the modeling results and substantiated with measurements on different compressor types, a similarity law for positive displacement compressors seems to exist. The existence of a similarity law has large application potential as it could be used to predict the performance of a positive displacement compressor in other than the (lab) tested working conditions. Further investigation of the similarity law for positive displacement compressors is therefore proposed as a key topic for future research.

Helical rotors, components of screw compressors have different structural shapes: rotors circular front section, rotors elliptic front section or asymmetric rotors. Manufacturing rotors involves profiling a tool bordered by a revolution surface, enveloping of each helical channel. This paper proposes a method developed in AutoCAD, in order to determine the profile of end mill cutter which generates the helical channel. Graphic method is based on the principle of complementary theorems' "Substitute Circles Family Method" component of envelope surfaces theory.
