This week, our team from City St George’s, University of London had the privilege of attending the International Conference on Screw Machines (ICSM) at TU Dortmund, Germany. It was a great opportunity to present some of our latest research and engage with colleagues from around the world who are working on similar challenges in screw compressor technology.

We delivered six presentation that reflect ongoing efforts by our team to explore new approaches and improve compressor performance. These presentations sparked interesting discussions, and we’re grateful for the chance to contribute to the wider conversation in this field.

Presentations delivered by Our Team:

Combined Rotor Rack Generation for Twin Screw Vacuum Pump Rotor Profile Design
Y. Lu, A. Kovacevic
We presented a method for generating rotor profiles for twin screw vacuum pumps.

On Rotor Profiling of Internally Geared Screw Machines
H. Lacevic et al.
This paper explores different techniques for profiling rotors in internally geared screw machines.

Designing Novel Rotor Profiles of Twin Screw Compressors Using Generative Deep Learning
R. Nakka, A. Kovacevic, S. A Ponnusami
We looked into using deep learning to develop innovative rotor profiles for twin screw compressors.

Economic Assessment of Multi-Stage Screw Compressors: A Comprehensive Lifecycle Cost Analysis
A. Kumar, A. Kovacevic, N. Stosic
This work analyzes the economic factors influencing the lifecycle costs of multi-stage screw compressors.

Influence of Screw Parameters and Fluid Injection on the Performance of Screw Compressors
A. Kumar, A. Kovacevic, N. Stosic
We investigated how different screw parameters and fluid injection affect compressor performance.

Investigation of Pulsation and Vibrations for an Internally Geared Screw Compressor
J. Zhu, A. Kovacevic
This study focused on understanding the pulsation and vibration behaviors in internally geared screw compressors.

Attending ICSM was a valuable experience for our team, offering insights and feedback that we will take forward as we continue our research. We’re thankful for the opportunity to share our work and to learn from others in the field. We look forward to continuing our efforts and contributing to future advancements in compressor technology.
