Compresseurs à vis. Dans ce compresseur [...] les deux parties essentielles sont constituées par deux rotors taillés hélicoïdalement et montés dans un carter commun. Le rotor d'entraînement à vis possède quatre creux de dent. Le rotor entraîné, ou tiroir, a six creux de dent [...]. La rotation continuant, il se produit une réduction progressive du volume du gaz, ce qui entraîne une augmentation de pression. 1, record 1, French, - compresseur%20%C3%A0%20vis
