摘要 |
The invention concerns helical- or screw-type driving and driven rotors having lands and intervening grooves for coacting engagement, within a housing of a machine, such as a gas compressor or expander, the rotors having improved, more efficient, profiles. The profiles are defined with contiguous elliptic and involute sections to improve the pressure angle, and the profiles are configured to define rotor-to-rotor sealing surfaces in closure of a compressed gas pocket in which, the pocket gas pressure always urges or torques the driven rotor in the positive or forward-rotary direction. |
