Components

Compressor

The helical-rotary chiller uses 2 screw-like rotors to perform the compression

process.

The rotors are meshed and fit, with very close tolerances, within a housing.

Only the male rotor is driven by the compressor motor. The lobes of the male

rotor engage and drive the female rotor, causing the 2 parts to counter-rotate.
