Zusammenfassung:A screw compressor and a variable capacity bypass valve therefor are provided. The variable capacity bypass valve includes a bore formed in a rotor bore discharge face of the compressor housing upstream of a compression chamber outlet end of the compression chamber, a slide valve member inserted into the bore to fill the a bore cavity, the valve member having a sealing surface configured to interact with a thread of a compressor screw during operation of the screw compressor, an actuator structure coupled to the valve member and oriented to move the valve member radially along the bore to open a fluid pathway communicatively coupling the compressor chamber to a bypass chamber configured to return compressed fluid to a fluid inlet of the compression chamber.
