Abstract
A discharge collector and diffuser for a screw compressor, including a housing having an inlet for receiving flow from a compressor and an outlet and defining therebetween a collector portion, a transition portion and a diffuser portion, the collector portion being adapted to receive a plurality of non-parallel streams from a compressor and to guide the streams into a substantially parallel flow direction, the housing further having a splitter plate positioned in the collector portion to separate the non-parallel streams from each other, whereby the streams are maintained separate until they are substantially parallel, thereby reducing flow losses.
