Dynamic Analysis for Rotors of a Twin-Screw Compressor with Gas-Induced Cyclic Loads

Abstract:

The effects of dynamic forces and elastic contacts in a pair of intermeshing rotors with the gas-induced cyclic loads based on the multibody dynamics simulation have not investigated yet. The comparison of numerical spectra of time and frequency domains of acceleration with the experimental noise spectrum of an oil-injected twin-screw compressor has not also considered. Therefore, this study proposes a new strategy, which combines the fluctuating torques and forces induced by cyclic gas pressure on the screw rotors to numerically predict vibration response in an oil-injected twin-screw compressor.
