Screw compressor with resonator pipe bend for noise reduction
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11920596B2) describes a screw compressor designed to compress process gas efficiently. The compressor housing features suction and pressure ports for gas intake and discharge, respectively. The compressor utilizes screw rotors to compress the gas, with a unique pipe bend system directing the compressed gas towards a silencer. This pipe bend includes an insert with a collar that helps control the flow and acts as a resonator, enhancing the compressor's performance.
Furthermore, the patent details the specific design elements of the pipe bend, including the curvature of the flow channel, cylindrical contours of the inner and outer walls, and the formation of an annular space acting as a resonator. The length of the insert projecting into the pipe bend is crucial in determining the resonator's effectiveness, which is dependent on factors like the expulsion frequency of the compressed gas and the sound velocity within the system. By carefully selecting the dimensions and configuration of the insert, the compressor can achieve optimal performance and noise reduction, making it a valuable innovation in the field of gas compression technology.
