Abstract

The high pressure end wall of an axial flow helical screw type compressor has a slide member which is movable transversely of the rotors for controlling the size of the discharge passage through the end wall and is controlled by sensing means responsive to the pressure at the end wall and in the discharge area in order that full compression which is substantially equal to the pressure at discharge may be obtained.
