Real twin screw blower data?
I'm sure Works and KB have lots of blower testing equipment so...
Why not post data on their blowers (with appropriate inlets) under the following conditions:
6000 rpm 10 psi
6000 rpm 15 psi
12000 rpm 10 psi
12000 rpm 15 psi
the data should list inlet flow (cfm), input power (hp), and the outlet temperature (with inlet temps at say 70) at each of the above conditions
This won't address the warranty and service questions but it'll give some good info on the blowers...

The motors required to accurately test input hp at the power range needed are so expensive it is unlikely you will find any data like this from anyone other than eaton who has the finances to back it up. And even they might not test it but just calculate a theoretical value.

Tweaking the profiles of the rotors or reworking the rotor to case clearances (which Jim Bell says KB/Autorotor has been doing) would be difficult to evaluate if you couldn't determine the input power required for different set-ups...
Got Incon?: If you've got more info on the test set-ups of Works, Lyshom, Whipple, Autorotor, or KB; feel free to correct me. I just don't see how they could develop these components with the ability to measure basic data.
