Patent ID: 10760574

Abstract:
A compressor element of a screw compressor inlet side and an outlet side and two helical rotors, respectively a male rotor with a drive for the male rotor and a female rotor that is driven by the male rotor by means of synchronisation gearwheels with at least one synchronisation gearwheel on the male rotor, wherein the drive and synchronisation gearwheels of the male rotor are chosen such that, upon being driven with acceleration of the rotors without gas forces, the resulting mechanical drive force that is exerted by this drive and by this synchronisation gearwheel on the male rotor has an axial component that is directed from the outlet side to the inlet side and that the movement of the male rotor in the axial direction from the outlet side to the inlet side is fixed by means of a single axial single-acting or double-acting bearing.
