Abstract

A narrow-slit injection orifice which is used for the screw compressor injection is described in this paper. Different from the traditional injection orifice, the orifice is slit shaped but not circular. Liquid which is injected by the narrow-slit injection orifice appears as a curtain shape so that the heat transfer area is increased. The cooling effect is enhanced and then the efficiency of the compressor is improved. The injected velocity of the orifice is simulated through the CFD software, and then the experiments are carried out. The study verified the accuracy of the simulation results. It will provide a theoretical foundation for the design of the narrow-slit injection orifice used for the screw compressor.
