Abstract
Pulsation, vibration and noise of a screw compressor is caused by compressed air abruptly discharging through a discharge port in a rotor chamber during rotation of a pair of rotors. The inside opening shape of the discharge port is within two tip curved lines drawn by the pair of rotors and coincides with the two tip curved lines at least at one point when fluid starts to discharge. In one embodiment, the inside opening shape is triangular with a vertex at a point of intersection of the two tip curved lines and a base side along the discharge end face of the rotor chamber. With this, when the air compressed in the compression chamber discharges from the discharge port, the discharge opening area of the discharge port smoothly increases. This reduces the pulsation of the discharged air and thus reduces the vibration and noise of the screw compressor.
