In a single screw compressor, gates () of gate rotors () are to be engaged with spiral grooves () of a screw rotor (). In each spiral groove () of the screw rotor (), an area extending from a start point of the spiral groove () to a position in a compression stroke is a suction-side portion (), and the remaining portion (portion up to a terminal point of the spiral groove ()) is a discharge-side portion (). In the discharge-side portion (), a clearance between a wall surface () therein and the gate () is substantially '0 (zero).' A clearance between the wall surface () in the suction-side portion () and the gate () is wider than that between the wall surface () in the discharge-side portion () and the gate (), and is gradually narrowed from the start point toward the terminal point in the spiral groove ().

Single screw compressor

In a screw rotor (), a first suction-side area () is formed in a first side wall surface () of a spiral groove (). In the first side wall surface (), a portion extending from a start point to a point until immediately before a compression chamber () is in a completely-closed state defines the first suction-side area (). The first suction-side area () is thinner than a portion of the first side wall surface () other than the first suction-side area (), and does not contact a gate () of a gate rotor ().

Single screw compressor and a method for processing a screw rotor

In a positioning apparatus (), a fixed scroll () is positioned with respect to an assembly body () in which a compressor motor () has been incorporated. In positioning the fixed scroll (), electric power is supplied to the compressor motor () from an inverter () to rotate a crank shaft () by the compressor motor (), thereby shifting a movable scroll (). In the positioning apparatus (), the shift of the movable scroll () leads to calculation of an appropriate position of the fixed scroll (). A striking unit () applies impact force to the fixed scroll () to stir the fixed scroll () to the appropriate position.

Fixed scroll positioning apparatus and fixed scroll positioning method

In a positioning apparatus, a fixed scroll engaged with a movable scroll is pressed against a housing member, and then, is stirred to an appropriate position by applying impact force to the fixed scroll in this state. Thus, the stirring of the fixed scroll terminates in the state that the fixed scroll is pressed against the housing member.
