Reciprocating Compressor

The document discusses reciprocating compressors. It describes how reciprocating compressors work by drawing air into a cylinder, trapping it, and compressing it with a piston before discharging it. It distinguishes between single-acting and double-acting compressors. It also discusses multistage reciprocating compressors and intercooler reciprocating compressors.

COMPRESSORS
WHAT IS COMPRESSOR ?
Compressor is a device which is used to increase the pressure of air from low pressure to high
pressure by using some external energy. The high pressure air is used to:
• For filling the air in tube of vehicles
• In automobile service station to clean vehicles.
• For spray painting in paint industries.
• In vehicle to operate air brakes.
• For cleaning workshop machines.
• For supercharging of an IC engines.
• For operation of pneumatic tools i.e. rock drills, vibrators etc.

RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR
In a reciprocating compressor, a volume of air is
drawn into a cylinder, it is trapped, and compressed by
piston and then discharged into the discharge line. The
cylinder valves control the flow of air through the
cylinder; these valves act as check valves.
• Single – Acting compressor:
It is a compressor that has one discharge per
revolution of crankshaft.
• Double – Acting Compressor:
It is a compressor that completes two discharge
strokes per revolutions of crankshaft. Most heavy duty
compressors are double acting.
