Twin-screw
Superchargers: A twin-screw supercharger operates by pulling
air through a pair of meshing lobes that resemble a set of
worm gears. Like the Roots supercharger, the air inside a
twin-screw supercharger is trapped in pockets created by the
rotor lobes. But a twin-screw supercharger compresses the
air inside the rotor housing. That's because the rotors have
a conical taper, which means the air pockets decrease in size
as air moves from the fill side to the discharge side. As
the air pockets shrink, the air is squeezed into a smaller
space.
Twin-screw
supercharger: This makes twin-screw superchargers more efficient,
but they cost more because the screw-type rotors require more
precision in the manufacturing process. Some types of twin-screw
superchargers sit above the engine like the Roots supercharger.
They also make a lot of noise. The compressed air exiting
the discharge outlet creates a whine or whistle that must
be subdued with noise suppression techniques.
