Publication number: 20240175436Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor pair for a compressor block of a screw machine, wherein the rotor pair comprises a secondary rotor that rotates about a first axis and a main rotor that rotates about a second axis, wherein the number of teeth of the main rotor is 3 and the number of teeth of the secondary rotor is 4. The relative profile depth of the secondary rotor is at least 0.5, preferably at least 0.515, and at most 0.65, preferably at most 0.595. rk1 is an addendum circle radius drawn around the outer circumference of the secondary rotor and rf1 is a dedendum circle radius starting at the profile base of the secondary rotor, wherein the ratio of the axis distance of the first axis from the second axis and the addendum circle radius rk1 is at least 1.636, and at most 1.8, preferably at most 1.733.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventor: Gerald Weih
