A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. Pressures of up to 5,000 PSIG are commonly produced by multistage reciprocating compressors. The provided a Compressor is assembled from the topmost quality component and ultra-modern technology. There are many benefits of using these machines such as complete automation, excellent performance, high production rates, and best quality production. Our manufactured Reciprocating Compressors is highly demanded in the market due to our maximum efficiency, effectiveness, and long working life.

A reciprocating compressor is a type of positive displacement compressor that uses a piston and cylinder mechanism to compress gases. It operates similarly to how an engine works, with the piston moving back and forth (reciprocating) inside a cylinder to decrease the volume and increase the pressure of the gas. Here’s a basic breakdown of how it works:

Components:

Cylinder: The chamber where the gas is compressed.
Piston: Moves inside the cylinder to compress the gas.
Inlet Valve: Allows gas to enter the cylinder during the intake stroke.
Discharge Valve: Releases the compressed gas during the compression stroke.
Crankshaft: Drives the piston via connecting rods and provides the reciprocating motion.
Connecting Rod: Connects the piston to the crankshaft, enabling the piston’s reciprocating movement.
Flywheel: Helps smooth out the operation by maintaining rotational speed.

Operating Cycle:

Intake Stroke: The piston moves down (away from the cylinder head), creating a vacuum that draws in gas through the intake valve.
Compression Stroke: The piston moves upward, compressing the gas inside the cylinder.
Discharge Stroke: Once the gas reaches a high pressure, the discharge valve opens, and the compressed gas is expelled from the cylinder.

Applications

Reciprocating compressors are commonly used in:

  • Air conditioning systems
  • Refrigeration systems
  • Petroleum refining
  • Natural gas transport and storage
  • Hydraulic systems
  • Gas storage and transfer

They can be single-acting (where gas is compressed on one side of the piston) or double-acting (where gas is compressed on both sides of the piston).
