- Abstract
Due to the lack of oil injection cooling, it is usually necessary for dry twin-screw compressors to design cooling jackets to carry away the heat generated during operation. In order to investigate to what extent a cooling jacket can improve the performance of screw compressors, this study set up an experimental platform for a dry twin-screw compressor applied in fuel cell vehicles and used water as the working liquid in the cooling jacket. Then, the performance parameters of the screw compressor under different rotating speeds, discharge pressures, and cooling water flow rates were measured. It can be considered that the existence of a water cooling jacket is of great significance for improving the performance of dry screw compressors and improving extreme operating conditions. The research results may provide a reference for the development and improvement of dry twin-screw compressors in the future.
