Reciprocating Air Compressor

The reciprocating compressors use cylinders with pistons inside. Each cylinder has a closed end next to the cylinder head and ends with a movable piston at the other end. Cylinder valves are located under the compressor valve cavities. During the first stage of compression, air enters the cylinder through a suction valve activated by piston motion. This creates a vacuum. The piston then reverses its motion, completing the "reciprocating" part of the name, and begins to compress the air in the process.

Once the pressure inside the cylinder exceeds the pressure in the discharge lines, the valves open and allow air to exit the cylinder. A reciprocating air compressor is a positive displacement compressor.

Here are the following of the reciprocating air compressor uses in Industry given below:-

There are following types :-

In Reciprocating (Air) Compressor, as the piston moves towards the BDC, the air is sucked into the cylinder from the atmosphere and when it travels  towards the TDC, the condensation of the air starts and keeps on going and pressure increases. When the pressure increases up to its design limit it pushes the discharge valve to open and the compressed air is delivered to the storage tank.

Connecting Rod: Connects the piston and crankshaft.

Crankshaft: It is attached to the shaft of the electric motor and transfers the rotary motion to the piston.

Cylinder: The air in the cylinder is compressed.

Discharge valve: The compressed air is discharged into the storage tank through the discharge valve.

Piston: It performs reciprocating motion in the cylinder and compresses the air.

Suction Valve: When the piston moves to the BDC air is sucked in through the suction valve.

Air compressors reduce the volume of air by compressing it. A reciprocating air compressor is a positive displacement air compressor that uses a crankshaft driven piston and cylinder. Our piston air compressors use a one- or two-stage process to compress air. The volume of compressed air decreases and its density increases without turning into a liquid.

This is how a reciprocating air compressor works:
