Common questions

What are piston compressors?

The reciprocating, or piston, compressor is the oldest and most common industrial compressor. It is available in single-acting or double-acting, oil-lubricated or oil-free variants, and various cylinder configurations. Small compressors usually use a V-configuration, while large, double-acting compressors commonly use an L-configuration with a vertical low-pressure cylinder and a horizontal high-pressure cylinder for optimal performance. Oil-lubricated models typically employ splash or pressure lubrication. Most compressors feature self-acting valves that operate based on pressure differences. Know more.

How does a piston air compressor work?

A piston or reciprocating compressor uses the positive-displacement principle, where air is drawn into compression chambers that are then sealed off. As the volume of these chambers decreases, the air is compressed. Once the designed pressure ratio is reached, a valve opens, and the compressed air is discharged into the outlet system. The piston compressor operates similarly to a bicycle pump, using a piston driven by a connecting rod and crankshaft. If only one side of the piston compresses air, it is a single-acting compressor; if both sides are used, it is a double-acting compressor.. Reach out to know more.
