Single screw compressor with high output

摘要

In one aspect, a single screw compressor is disclosed. The compressor, in at least some embodiments, includes: a housing including a cylindrical bore; a pair of gate rotors mounted for rotation in the housing, each gate rotor having a plurality of gear teeth; and a main rotor rotatably mounted in the bore and having a plurality of grooves, a plurality of lands, an additional groove, and an additional land; wherein the plurality of lands of the main rotor comprises a first wrap angle and the additional land comprises a second wrap angle, and the second wrap angle is distinct and different from the first wrap angle. In other aspects, a method of assembling a gate rotor in relation to a main rotor that is positioned within a single screw gas compressor configured for high output, and a main rotor device for use with a single screw compressor configured for high output are also disclosed.
