Capacity Control and Volume Ratio
Since the HallScrew compressor utilises fixed intake and discharge ports
instead of valves, the overall compression ratio is determined by the
configuration of these ports. The degree of compression is governed by
the ratio between the flute volume when it is sealed off by the star tooth
at the beginning of the compression process, to that immediately before
the delivery port is uncovered. This is known as the built-in volume ratio
(V
R
) and is an important characteristic of all fixed-port compressors.
In order to achieve maximum efficiency, the pressure within the flute
volume at the end of the compression process should equal the pressure
in the discharge line at the instant the flute volume opens to discharge.
Should these conditions not prevail, either overcompression or
undercompression will occur, both of which result in internal losses.
Although in no way detrimental to the compressor, inefficient
compression will increase power consumption.
