A method of designing rotors for a Roots blower comprising a housing having cylindrical chambers, the housing defining an outlet port (19). The blower includes meshed, lobed rotors (37,39) disposed in the chambers, each rotor including a plurality N of lobes (47,49), each lobe having first (47a,49a)
A method of designing rotors for a Roots blower comprising a housing having cylindrical chambers, the housing defining an outlet port (19). The blower includes meshed, lobed rotors (37,39) disposed in the chambers, each rotor including a plurality N of lobes (47,49), each lobe having first (47a,49a) and second (47b,49b) axially facing end surfaces. Each lobe has its axially facing surfaces defining a twist angle (TA), and each lobe defines a helix angle (HA). The method of designing the rotor comprises determining a maximum ideal twist angle (TAM) for the lobe as a function of the number N of lobes on the rotor, and then determining a helix angle (HA) for each lobe as a function of the maximum ideal twist angle (TAM) and an axial length (L) between the end surfaces of the lobe. A rotor designed in accordance with this method is also provided.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of designing a rotor for a Roots-type blower comprising a housing defining first and second transversely overlapping cylindrical chambers, said housing including a first end wall defining an inlet port, and a second end wall, said housing defining an outlet port form
What is claimed is: 1. A method of designing a rotor for a Roots-type blower comprising a housing defining first and second transversely overlapping cylindrical chambers, said housing including a first end wall defining an inlet port, and a second end wall, said housing defining an outlet port formed at an intersection of said first and second chambers, and adjacent said second end wall; said blower including first and second meshed, lobed rotors disposed, respectively, in said first and second chambers; each rotor including a plurality N of lobes, each lobe having first and second axially facing end surfaces sealingly cooperating with said first and second end walls, respectively, and a top land sealingly cooperating with said cylindrical cambers, each lobe having its first and second axially facing end surfaces defining a twist angle, and each lobe defining a helix angle; said method of designing a rotor comprising the steps of: determining a maximum ideal twist angle for said lobe as a function, partially, of said number N of lobes on said rotor; and determining a helix angle for each lobe as a function of said twist angle and an axial length between said first and second axially facing end surfaces of said lobe, said determining of said helix angle comprises the determining of a Lead, wherein said Lead is a function of said maximum ideal twist angle and said axial length, said helix angle then being determined in accordance with the equation: description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"Helix Angle (HA)=(108/π*arctan (PD/Lead)),description="In-line Formulae" end="tail" wherein PD is the pitch diameter of the lobe. 2. A rotor for a Roots-type blower comprising a housing defining first and second transversely overlapping cylindrical chambers, said housing including a first end wall defining an inlet port, and a second end wall, said housing defining an outlet port formed at an intersection of said first and second chambers, and adjacent said second end wall; said blower including first and second meshed, lobed rotors disposed, respectively, in said first and second chambers; each rotor including a plurality N of lobes, each lobe having first and second axially facing end surfaces sealingly cooperating with said first and second end walls, respectively, and a top land sealingly cooperating with said cylindrical chambers, each lobe having its first and second axially facing end surfaces defining a twist angle, and each lobe defining a helix angle; said rotor characterized by: said twist angle for said lobe is a maximum ideal twist angle that is a function, partially, of said number N of lobes on said rotor; and said helix angle for each lobe is a function of said twist angle and an axial length between said first and second axially facing end surfaces of said lobe, said rotor including a Lead, wherein said Lead is a function of said maximum ideal twist angle and said axial length, said helix angle being determined in accordance with the equation: description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"Helix Angle (HA)=(108/π*arctan (PD/Lead)),description="In-line Formulae" end="tail" wherein PD is the pitch diameter of the lobe. 3. A Roots-type blower comprising: a housing defining first and second transversely overlapping cylindrical chambers, said housing including a first end wall defining an inlet port having an inlet pressure and an outlet port formed at an intersection of said first and second chambers and adjacent to a second end wall; and first and second meshed, lobed rotors disposed, respectively, in said first and second chambers, each rotor including a plurality N of lobes, each lobe having first and second axially facing end surfaces sealingly cooperating with said first and second end walls, respectively, and a top land sealingly cooperating with said cylindrical chambers, said lobes defining a control volume of fluid having an inlet seal time, a transfer seal time, and a total seal time that is a sum of the inlet and transfer seal times, each lobe having its first and second axially facing end surfaces defining a twist angle that is a function, partially, of said number N of lobes on said rotor, a maximum ideal twist angle being the largest possible twist angle for each rotor lobe without opening a leak path from the outlet port to the inlet port, wherein when the twist angle is a maximum ideal twist angle, the total seal time is a total maximum seal time and the transfer seal time is zero, and when the twist angle is less than the maximum ideal twist angle, the total seal time is a total optimized seal time and the transfer seal time is greater than zero, but the total maximum seal time and the total optimized seal time are substantially constant.
