Abstract The objective of this research is to study the behavior the two phase refrigerant-oil mixture during the compression process in screw compressors. The effect of the rate of oil injection on the pressure and temperature distribution was investigated theoretically. The theoretical treatment starts from the consideration of the basic governing equations of the momentum and energy transfer of a two phase mixture. The;-’mixture is assumed as a homogeneous fluid with physical properties different from those separat for the oil and the refrigerant. An integral method was used to solve the momentum and energy equations and the effect, of not only the oil concentration in the refrigerant but also the location of the injection point on the pressure and temperature distribution and the energy required for the compression were ail investigated. In a commercial screw compressor, the space in which the compression process takes place has a complicated geometrical profile. Therefore, a special chapter was devoted to explain the possible profiles for the male and female teeth of the rotors, and the limitations of the design of these profiles. An experimental test rig was built. Essentially it is a refrigerating cycle which consists of two |
