Numerical investigation of oil injection in a Roots blower operated as expander [PDF]
The adoption of positive displacement machines as expanders in Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs) is increasingly common, especially in the low to medium power range. At the same time, these devices often serve as compressor in Vapor-Compression Refrigeration

Optimisation of two-stage screw expanders for waste heat recovery applications [PDF]
It has previously been shown that the use of two-phase screw expanders in power generation cycles can achieve an increase in the utilisation of available energy from a low temperature heat source when compared with more conventional single-phase turbines.

Mechanistic model of an oil-flooded single-screw expander
The power generated from Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs) is directly related to the performance of the expander used, which in many cases it is adapted from the original compressor. The efficiency of positive displacement expanders depends on several aspects such as internal volume ratio and pressure ratio (under- and over-expansion), leakages, non ...

Performance evaluation of a novel single-screw compressor and expander design
Abstract Single-screw machines have seen significant development and improvement over the last decades and they are currently employed as both compressors and expanders in several applications. The correct functioning of the machine heavily relies on the meshing between the gate rotors and the central rotor which is directly linked to ...

Numerical analysis of oil injection effects in a single screw expander
The pursuit of higher efficiency for compression and micro-power generation systems has pushed the researchers to an in-depth analysis of positive displacement machines. Single-screw machines, among the others, are gaining attention in the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems as expanders, thanks to their extended maintenance intervals and compactness ...
