 HITACHI Patented DSP Rotor Profile
(USP 5064363)
 The theoretical profile is determined as the profile
at the design temperature.
 Thermal expansion is calculated on each point of
the profile.
 Profile at room temperature is predetermined and
profiles of tools (cutter and grinder) are generated.
 Coating thickness is counted on the profile
calculations.
 Tapered rotors : sectional profile is larger at the
inlet side of the rotor to keep straight form at the
operating condition
 Multi-lead rotor: independent leads are given to
the leading profile and trailing profile. US Pat. US5064363 A Issued 19911112
