Dr. Sham Rane discusses the use of the latest SCORG Design Exploration Upgrades in the Framework available in SCORG v2023 for the analysis and evaluation of twin-screw compressors and expanders.
An overview of how project parameterization is done, and how the design points are organized 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
