basically the difference is in the air channelling. A twin screw channels or "screws" the air between the two rotors while a roots style pushes around the edges between the rotor and inner wall. The twin screw tends to be a little more effiencent and produce less heat

Thats because ina roots type therotorsactually touch each other, the twin screw does not. Twin screw is way more efficient.
