This study aims at the optimal design of the screw rotor and its performance analysis. The optimal design of the screw rotor's shape has been performed theoretically. Also, the performance analysis technique of an oil-injected screw air compressor is developed. The effect of internal leakage, heat exchange between air and oil, and flow resistance at suction and discharge ports are included in the performance analysis. Some numerical examples of the volumetric efficiency and adiabatic efficiency for sample rotors are demonstrated for various lobe combination, rotor wrap angles and L/D ratios.

스크류 채널 내에 주기적을 배리어를 설치함으로써 단축 스크류 압출 공정에서의 혼합 성능이 높여질수 있음이 S.J. Kim과 T.H. Kwom에 의해 밝혀진 바있다. 그들은 이새 로운 스크류를 통한 혼합이 카오틱하는 점으로부터 이 새로운 스크류를 카오스 스크류라고 명명했다. 우리는 카오스 스크류가 장착된 단축 압출공정에서 역학계 이론과 혼합운동학을 연계하여 연구를 수행하였다. 포인카레 단면을 통한 연구로부터 우리는 배리어의 배열이 islan의 크기에 대단히 밀접하게 관련되어 있음을 발견하였다. 연속적인 쉘 변형은 카오틱 유동에서 유체 요소를 지수 함수 형태로 늘이는 늘임과 접힘으로 이루어진 카오틱 혼합 메 카니즘을보여준다. 유체요소의 국부 늘임은 원리상으로는 계산되어질수 있으나 수치 해석상 의 어려운 점이 있다. 정규 유동에서와 달리 카오틱 유동에서는 입자 추적이 Runge-Kutta 적분중의 시간간격에 대단히 민감하다. 그래서 실제 사용될수 있는 시간 간격에 의해 계산 된 국부 늘임율 및 혼합효율의 정확도가 보장되어지지 않는다. 이러한 점들을 고려하여 우 리는 새로운 혼합 척도로 $\sigma$z를 제안하는데 이값은 비교적 긴 유체선분이 채널방향을 따라 늘어나는 비에 관련된 값이다. 배리어 영역의 길이가 짧을수록 $\sigma$z는 큰값으로 나타나지만 포인카레 단면에 의한 연구에 따르면 배리어의 주기가 너무 짧다면 두 개의 거대한 island 가 존재하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그리고 이러한 사실은 유체요소의 늘임비가 크다는 것이 항 상 좋은 혼합성능을 뜻하는 것은 아니라는 점을 보여준다. 이러한 관점에서 볼 때 혼합 스 크류를 설계하는데 있어서는 포인카레 단면을 병행하여 ${\sigma}_z$의 값을 사용하는 것이 바람직할 것이다.

The screw compressor is first invented by a Swedish engineer, Alf Lysholm in 1934. Since then, the development of the screw compressor idea for industrial applications has been continued by the Swedish research organization Svenska Rotor Maskiner, often identified by its initials SRM. The first industrial application of the machine was marketed as an air compressor in the 1950s. The screw compressor which is a positive displacement type compressor compresses gases by the rotation of a pair of mating rotors. The operation of this compressor is entirely rotary and dynamically in balance. Also there is no need for any valve mechanism and there exists less mechanical wear between the parts compared to the conventional reciprocating compressors. Due to these prominent features, the screw compressor has been rapidly spread into the air compressor market replacing the conventional reciprocating compressors and begun to be applied as a refrigerant compressor since the 1960s. In this work, the operation principle of the screw compressor is described in brief and the major design parameters affecting the compressor performance are classified. The international research trend in screw compressor development is introduced and the current situation in our country is described.

Screw compressor type chiller is widely used in refrigeration for capacity over 30 RT. To enhance the chiller performance, an economizer which increases the cooling capacity and COP can be adopted. In this study the performance of an economizer is studied by using a simulation program. Simulation results are compared with experiment data to verify the validation of a simulation program. Maximum economizer injection pressure is estimated and the performance of an economizer for various evaporation and condensation temperatures is calculated. From the results, the performance enhancement of an economizer by using R22 and R407C is compared.

An experimental study on the performance enhancement of a screw-compressor-type chiller with 100kW of nominal cooling capacity has been carried out. Performance test facility was developed to investigate the effects of a partial modification from the existing chiller on the performance. By replacing the existing shell-and -tube heat exchangers with plate heat exchangers, the cooling capacity is increased by 15~18% and the COP is also increased by 19~21% depending on the operation temperature range. Charging mixed refrigerant R22/R142b(80 : 20) instead of R22 into the chiller with plate heat exchangers improves the cooling capacity by 4% and the COP very largely by 30%. Each contribution of the plate evaporator, plate condenser, and mixed refrigerant to the performance enhancement is examined by analyzing the refrigeration cycle and the heat transfer processes. It is also shown that the chiller performance can be improved by adapting 2-stage-compression cycle using an economizer.

A preliminary performance test of a 30RT 2-stage screw heat pump was carried out in order to develop a high performance large-scale unutilized energy source heat pump, which will be used in district heating and cooling. Two issues on the system control were investigated in this study, A stable 2-stage heating operation is guaranteed only if the load-side water inlet temperature is over a certain value, to where the 1-stage heating operation should be done first from a cold start. An oil shortage problem in low stage compressor, which depends on the degree of suction superheat, was solved by the proper oil level control scheme.

A preliminary performance test of a 30RT 2-stage screw heat pump was carried out in order to develop a high performance large-scale unutilized energy source heat pump system, which will be used for district heating and cooling. In this study, two issues of the system operating control were investigated. The first issue is the mode switching control from 1-stage to 2-stage. A stable 2-stage heating operation is guaranteed, only if the load-side water inlet temperature is over a certain value, where the 1-stage heating operation should be done first from a cold start. The second issue is oil level control. An oil shortage problem in the low stage compressor, which depends on the degree of suction superheat, was solved by a proper oil level control scheme.

Single screw compressors are widely used in the fields of air/gas compression, refrigeration, and chemical fluid transportation systems. A single-screw compressor is composed of a screw rotor and two gate rotors located at both sides. This simple construction enables low rotational speed of the rotor, efficient compression with low noise, low vibration, and long bearing life. Despite these merits, the design method of single-screw compressors is not well known. To accelerate the industrial application of single-screw compressors, a design method using coordinate transformation is presented in this paper, and a tool trajectory is established for machining. Finally, the screw rotor, which is machined using the proposed method, is presented.

헬륨냉동계통은 연구용 원자로인 하나로에서 냉중성자를 생산할 수 있도록 설치된 수조내기기 내의 감속재인 수소가 정상적으로 열 사이펀을 유지하기 위한 주요 계통이다. 헬륨냉동계통은 헬륨가스를 압축하는 헬륨 압축부분과 헬륨가스를 팽창시켜 저온을 생성시키는 헬륨 팽창부분으로 나누어진다. 헬륨 압축부분은 두 개의 스크류가 맞물려 회전하면서 약 1.05 bar(a)의 헬륨가스를 최대 13 bar(a)까지 압축시키는 압축기가 있으며, 헬륨 팽창부분인 냉동박스의 팽창 터빈은 self-acting gas bearing에 의해 구동되며, 저온모드 운전 시작시 헬륨 압축부분에서 일부의 가스는 팽창 터빈 축(shaft)으로 유입되어 회전속도가 서서히 증가하면서 고속으로 회전하여 극저온의 헬륨가스(14~18 K)를 생성하는 주요 기기이다. 헬륨을 팽창하는 부분인 냉동박스 내로 헬륨 압축가스를 유입하기 전에 압축된 헬륨가스 내 불순물의 순도를 분석하여 냉동박스의 주요 부품인 팽창터빈의 운전에 영향을 미치지 않는 것이 가장 중요하다. 따라서 헬륨 저압측에 헬륨가스 내 불순물 즉, 수소($H_2$), 수분($H_2O$), 질소($N_2$), 탄화수소류(CxHy) 및 오일(Oilaerosol) 등의 함량을 분석하기위해 가스 분석기가 설치되어 있으며, 냉동박스 내로 유입되기 전에 헬륨압축에서 순환되는 가스 내 불순물인 수분, 질소, 탄화수소류 및 오일은 10 vpm 이하이어야 하며, 수소 함량은 0.1 % 이내이어야 한다. 헬륨 압축부분에서 순환되는 가스의 불순물이 요구 조건에 만족하도록 헬륨 고압측과 헬륨 저압측에 cryogenic adsorber를 설치하여 가스 내 불순물을 제거하는 가스순도제어 작업을 수행해야 한다. cryogenic adsorber를 사용하기 위해서는 장치 내의 불순 가스를 공정진공도(1.33 X $10^{-3}$ mbar) 이하로 진공배기하는 작업이 매우 중요하다. 이는 계통의 헬륨가스가 오염되지 않도록 하는 것으로 cryogenic adsorber 내에는 액체질소를 충전하여 액체질소 온도에 노출된 활성탄층을 헬륨가스가 흐르면서 수분, 질소, 탄화수소류 및 오일 등이 제거된다. 이 논문에서는 헬륨냉동계통의 가스 순도 제어 작업을 통해 헬륨가스의 순도가 요구조건 이하로 만족하며, 팽창 터빈의 운전에 영향을 미치지 않음을 기술하고자 한다.

The performance of screw air compressor is affected by rotor profile, lobe number, air end wrap angle, rotor L/D ratio, suction and discharge ports, revolutions of air end and load regulation control, etc. In general, an efficient screw compressor needs a rotor profile of which has a large flow cross-section area, short sealing lines and a small blow-hole. In this study, experimental study was performed with newly designed $5{\times}6$ rotor profile and various shapes of air end. Results show that the measured specific power consumption of the newly designed screw compressor appeared to be lower than any other published data for the equivalent screw compressors manufactured.
