Positive Displacement Type Roots Blower

Many users consider rotaiy compressors, such as the Rootes -type blower, as turbomachines because their behavior in terms of the rotor dynamics is very close to centrifugal and axial flow machineiy. Unhke the reciprocating machines, the rotary machines do not have a veiy high vibration problem but, like the reciprocating machines, they are positive displacement machines.
