What is a Reciprocating Air Compressor and Its Benefits?

Reciprocating air compressors (also known as Piston air compressors) are positive-displacement compressors that use a crankshaft-driven piston and cylinder to compress the air. Successive volumes of air are confined within a closed space, elevating this air to a higher pressure. The reciprocating air compressor accomplishes this by using a piston within a cylinder as the compressing and displacing element. One of the key advantages of using reciprocating compressors is that the initial cost of installing them is typically lower. Other benefits of using reciprocating compressors include:

Ability to produce both high-power and high-pressure air.
It can compress gases and refrigerants of many molecular densities.
High efficiency and flexibility.
Relatively low maintenance costs and ability to provide continuous flow.
High durability, low-priced & readily available spare parts.

Uses of Reciprocating Compressors

Reciprocating air compressors are used for a wide range of pressures, from vacuum to 2000 bar g and more, for various industrial applications. The primary use of piston air compressors is generally to move air at increased pressure. Reciprocating air compressors are used in industries to process and deliver natural gas, in chemical plants, oil refining, and refrigerating technology. Other diversified applications of piston compressors are scuba diving, dental surgeries, laboratories, automotive workshops, and agriculture.

WHAT IS THE WORKING PRINCIPLE OF A RECIPROCATING OR PISTON AIR COMPRESSOR?

The reciprocating or piston compressor consists of a piston, inter-outlet valves, and a cylinder with an adequate cooling arrangement, connecting rod, and crank. The working is the same as the compression stroke of two-stroke engines. A single-stage reciprocating air compressor is an air compressor that carries out compression in a single stroke & a two-stage reciprocating air compressor is an air compressor that carries out compression in two strokes and consists of two cylinders.

The basic working principle of a reciprocating air compressor or a piston air compressor is to use pistons driven by a crankshaft to move air at high pressure. The first step in this process is that the piston in the reciprocating compressor moves back and forth in the cylinder by a rotating shaft, known as a crankshaft, using a connecting rod that converts rotary motion to reciprocating action. An engine or an electrical motor provides the power to rotate the crankshaft. The cylinder is supplied with suction and discharge valves. A suction valve is the one that admits air into the cylinder, and outlet lets out the air once it is compressed. The valves must open and close in a coordinated manner to produce compressed air.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

How can I determine whether I need a single-acting reciprocating compressor or a double-acting reciprocating compressor for my industrial application?

To determine the right type of compressor for your application, consider factors such as required operating pressure, compressed air volume, available space, budget, and expected workload. Consulting with compressed air specialists at ELGi can help you make an informed decision based on your needs.

What are the advantages of a double-piston air compressor over a single-piston air compressor?

In general, double-piston air compressors provide more air output and efficiency than single-piston compressors. Using two pistons working in tandem gives a more continuous and balanced flow of compressed air, making them suited for applications that require a constant air supply and higher compressed air volumes.
