Webinar 24: Design exploration for positive displacement machines in SCORG

Dr Sham Rane discusses the use of the latest Design Exploration Framework available in SCORG V2022 for analysis and evaluation of twin-screw compressors and expanders.

An overview of how project parameterisation is done, how the design points are organised and managed in a single design exploration form are presented. Few Design Scenario demonstrations are used to study the influence of parameters on twin screw compressor performance.

• Sensitivity of leakage gaps
• Rotor design and port sizing using built-in volume index alteration
• Oil Injection port analysis
• Plotting performance maps
