Abstract
A process to control the delivery of a single screw compressor comprising a screw meshing with two pinion wheels and rotatable inside a casing. A channel with obturating means is provided to connect the high pressure orifice pertaining to a one pinion-wheel and the low pressure orifice. Auxiliary orifices are arranged to connect the various zones of the casing exposed to pressure with the low pressure orifice, said auxiliary orifices being provided with obturating devices. Said orifices are sequentially opened to diminish the delivery, starting from the orifice located near the low pressure orifice. First, the orifices pertaining to the first pinion wheel are sequentially opened. Then, the channel connecting the high pressure orifice of the first pinion and the low pressure orifice is opened. Then, the auxiliary orifices pertaining to the second pinion are sequentially opened.
