Abstract: Rotors for a rotary screw compressor having geometries that increase the efficiency of the compression process. The thermodynamic behavior of the rotors may be improved through an increase in the number of male and female lobes of the rotors and/or by an increased wrap angle, such as, for example, using wrap angles that exceed 360 degrees. By increasing the number of lobes, the rotors may have improved resistance to bending of the rotors that may otherwise occur when the temperature of the rotors is elevated and/or the rotor is utilized in relatively high pressure compression applications. The improved resistance to bending may allow the rotors to retain the relatively small size of the work spaces between intermeshed lobes of the rotors in which captured working fluid is being compressed.

Abstract: A multi-staged screw compressor system includes a gearbox, a drive gear located in the gearbox, and a first, second and third screw compressor that are fastened to the gearbox and coupled to the drive gear such that the first, second, and third screw compressors are all driven in common by the drive gear. During operation the first screw compressor compresses a flow of gaseous fluid from an inlet pressure to a first intermediate pressure, the second screw compressor compresses the flow of fluid from the first intermediate pressure to a second intermediate pressure, and the third screw compressor compresses the flow of fluid from the second intermediate pressure to a final pressure. The final pressure is at least thirty times the inlet pressure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi step helical screw compressor unit which consists of a drive housing (90), wherein a first, second, and third helical screw compressor (60, 70, 80) are secured in a protruding manner parallel to each other and are driven together by a drive toothed wheel in the drive housing. A gas-like fluid is compressed by the first helical screw compressor (60) at a first intermediate pressure of approximately 3.5 bars, by the second helical screw compressor (70) at a second intermediate pressure of approximately 12 bars and by the third helical screw compressor (80) at an end pressure of approximately 40 bars. The driven toothed wheels (65, 75) of the first and the second helical screw compressors are in contact with the drive toothed wheel (95) above the axes thereof, when the driven toothed wheel (85) of the third helical screw compressor (80) is in contact with the drive toothed wheel (95) in the vicinity of the deepest point thereof (T).

Abstract: A helical screw compressor includes two rotors which are mounted in the rotor housing. The helical screw compressor includes sealing arrangements (11, 11?) for sealing the pressure-sided shaft journals of the rotors. Each sealing arrangement includes a plurality of annular seals (11a, 11b) which are arranged in a row adjacent to each other, and an annular-shaped discharge chamber (51) is associated with the system on an intermediate position and is connected, via a discharge channel (53), to the chamber in the rotor housing, wherein pressure which is higher than the atmospheric pressure. Preferably, the discharge channel is connected to the suction chamber (10) of the rotor housing (1), and is impinged upon by precompressed gas from an upstream compressor step.

Abstract: A screw compressor rotor housing is surrounded by a cooling housing that forms an annular cooling chamber. The cooling chamber is interrupted at one point by a separating wall that connects the rotor housing to the cooling housing. Coolant is fed at an inlet opening and is directed at the bottom side of the separating wall by an entrance channel, is redirected, and flows around the rotor housing until it reaches the top side of the separating wall. The coolant is redirected and is withdrawn through an exit channel that runs upward to the outlet opening. A bleed opening in the wall of the entrance channel and a vent opening in the wall of the exit channel allow for a residual amount of air to remain in the cooling chamber when it is filled with coolant, and for a residual fluid to remain when it is emptied.

Abstract: A two-stage screw compressor has two compressor stages whose rotor housings are arranged with their axes parallel to one another and are enclosed by a common coolant housing at a distance. A coolant inlet and a coolant outlet are located at the common coolant housing, as well as guide walls such that the coolant flowing through the coolant housing flows around and cools the rotor housings of the two compressor stages one after the other in an S-shaped flow path.
