Patent Pending (automatic continuos Vi regulation) The geometry of the discharge port of a screw compressor determines its built-in volumetric ratio (Vi). For each refrigerant and for each pressure ratio there is just one Vi that maximizes the isentropic efficiency, as it is clearly showed in the following picture. Since the geometry of the discharge port is generally fixed, the market offers different series of compressors to suit applications with different nominal pressure ratios. For instance Frascold offers two different main ranges of traditional screw compressors: the CXH and the CXW models,...

Patent Pending (automatic continuos Vi regulation) ACVR Control Card Green led activated as the optimum Vi has been set Yellow led activated as the Vi value decreases Green led activated as the device is fed 220 V / 1 ph / 50 Hz, 8 VA Yellow led activated as the Vi value increases and also when the set point is reached The device is mounted in the compressor electric box. The standard solenoid valve coils have 230 V / 1 ph / 50 Hz power supply, however the ACVR can manage also other kind of voltages of the solenoid valve coils.
