Abstract: A dry pump for gases comprises a first rotor (1) comprising a first lobe portion (1A) and a first screw (1B), as well as a second rotor (2) comprising a second lobe portion (2A) and a second screw (2B). A casing delimits an internal volume in which are located together the first and second screws (1B, 2B) and the first and second lobe portions (1A, 2A). Each of the first and second screws (1B, 2B) comprises a threading invariable along its length. The first and second rotors (1, 2) turn in opposite directions and are located in successive configurations. In a first configuration of the rotors, the first and second lobe portions (1A, 2A), a portion of the first screw (1B), a portion of the second screw (2B) and the casing together delimit a chamber (30) which is closed. In a second configuration of the rotors, the chamber (30) has a smaller capacity than in the first configuration.

Abstract: The twin screw rotors for axis-parallel installation in displacement machines for compressible media have asymmetrical transverse profiles and numbers of wraps that are ≧2. Depending upon the wrapping angle (&agr;), the pitch (L) varies, which pitch increases in a first subdivision (T1) from the suction-side screw end, reaches a maximal value (Lmax) after one wrap, decreases in a second subdivision (T2) until a minimal value (Lmin), and is constant in a third subdivision (T3). The pitch course in the first subdivision (T1) is preferably mirror-symmetrical to that in the second subdivision (T2), within the subdivisions T1 to T2, it is point-symmetrical to the mean values in almost all cases. Compact screw rotors, completely free of imbalance, can thereby be achieved with compression rates of 1.0 . . . 10.0, also without profile variation.

Abstract: Displacement machines for compressible media having single-threaded, twin screw rotors with continuously decreasing pitch to achieve an inner compression are known. The demand for compact pumps with rotors as short as possible, and the frequent, process-related demand for quick disassembly of the housing, set limits however for the wrapping angle or respectively for the variation of the end profiles, which, in turn, leads to extreme pitch ratios or to insufficient compression rates. The present invention uses screw rotors with an optimized, non-monotone pitch course and alternative end profile variation with constant diameters. Suction capability is improved with the same space requirement, and compression rates of 3.0 and more are achieved easily with only four wraps. Displacement machines equipped with such twin screw rotors provide optimal results with respect to energy requirement, temperature, construction space and servicing with application possibilities in chemistry and in semiconductor technology.

At least one rotor, movably disposed in the housing, subdivides the working area, and a guide gearing for rotor control is connected to a drive apparatus located outside the working area. The invention has as its object to propose a displacement machine which can be manufactured less expensively and with less weight than known displacement machines of this type, and in particular can be operated without any special lubricant for the bearings.
