Improving Cooling and Oil Distribution in an Oil-Injected Screw Compressor
The winning paper of the IOR Ted Perry Research Award 2021, written by Nausheen Basha Ph.D. researched the performance and reliability of oil-injected screw compressors.
It explains how the oil injected in a twin screw compressor distributes itself in the compression chambers and how CFD (computational fluid dynamics) were used as part of this research. Case studies, tests on existing rigs and instrumental detail show the effect of using different injection points and how to reduce power losses due to temperature rise.
