Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005047706A1] A screw pump comprises a pair of rotors (92, 94) each carrying an external screw thread (96, 98), the pair of rotors being rotatably mounted in a stator (72) and arranged such that, in operation, the screw threads of the rotors intermesh as the rotors rotate in opposing directions. Means (100, 102) are provided for actively controlling the axial position of the rotors within the stator during use of the pump.
