The objective of present work is to investigate the performance characteristics of three-lobe Roots type supercharger for the applications of low-compression and high-expansion ration gasoline engine. A performance test was conducted to obtain the drive power, volumetric efficiency, adiabatic efficiency and the influence of performance factors of supercharger . In order to analyze the supercharging characteristics, the experiments are made on operating parameters such as the supercharger speed, pressure ration and inlet temperature on the supercharging performance of the Roots type supercharger . Based on experimental results, the drive power and flow rate of supercharger increased with supercharger speed.

A Computer program is developed for creation of a new lobe shaper for Roots-type supercharger. Numerical analyses are preformed for the flowfields in the pocket volumes formed by various lobe shapes. The governing equations for the two-dimensional, turbulent, operational processes in the housing are discretized by the control volume approach that insures the conservative characteristics to be satisfied in the calculation domain, and they are solved by a modified SIMPLE algorithm. Numerical results show that the effects of secondary flow on the leakage flow rate with the Cassini(B) lobe shape is smaller than that of Cassini(A) rotor. But the pocket volume of Cassine(B) lobe is larger than the other lobe shapes.
