Abstract
The invention relates to a rotor pair for a compressor block of a screw machine, wherein a rotor pair comprises a secondary rotor that rotates about a first axis and a main rotor that rotates about a second axis, wherein the number of teeth of the main rotor is 3 and the number of teeth of the secondary rotor is 4. The relative profile depth of the secondary rotor is at least 0.5, preferably at least 0.515, and at most 0.65, preferably at most 0.595. rk1 is an addendum circle radius drawn around the outer circumference of the secondary rotor and rf1 is a dedendum circle radius starting at the profile base of the secondary rotor, wherein the ratio of the axis distance of the first axis from the second axis and the addendum circle radius rk1 is at least 1.636, and at most 1.8, preferably at most 1.733.

A rotor pair for a compressor block of a screw machine, wherein the rotor pair comprises:
- a secondary rotor that rotates about a first axis and a main rotor that rotates about a second axis, wherein a number of teeth of the main rotor is 3 and a number of teeth of the secondary rotor is 4, wherein a relative profile depth of the secondary rotor

- is between 1.636 and 1.8, wherein the main rotor is configured with a wrap-around angle ΦHR for which it holds that 240°≤ΦHR≤360°, and wherein for a rotor length ratio LHR/a:
- 1.4≤LHR/a≤3.4,
- wherein the rotor length ratio is formed from a ratio of the rotor length LHR of the main rotor and the axis distance a, and the rotor length LHR of the main rotor is formed by a distance of a suction-side main-rotor rotor end face to an opposite pressure-side main-rotor rotor end face.
