What is the efficiency of the MotoDyne Lysholm twin screw compressor compared to the roots and centrifugal type superchargers?
A. The Lysholm twin screw compressor is 75% to 85% adiabatic and volumetric efficient while the roots is commonly 40% to 55%. Common centrifugal superchargers have a peak of 65% to 80% but do just that, peak! Over an entire rpm range, a screw compressor has an average efficiency far greater than the roots or centrifugal. Take a look at the efficiency graph, which illustrates the screw compressor efficiency.
