Reciprocating compressor or Piston Compressor

A Reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a positive displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. The intake gas enters the suction manifold, then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via crankshaft and is then discharged the air.

PISTON ASSEMBLY

Piston Assembly is the heart of the reciprocating compressor. The piston translates the energy from the crankcase to the gas in the cylinder. to avoid the leakage of compressed gas between the piston and cylinder, the piston is equipped with a set of piston rings. Usually, the rings are made of a material, that having self-lubricating and reduce the slide friction force between the cylinder and the piston.The piston rod is threaded to the piston and transmits the reciprocating motion from the crosshead to the piston. The distance piece is a separable housing it connects the cylinder to the frame. the connecting rod should have drilled hole for oil passage. it is used to connect the crankshaft and the crosshead. The connecting rod converts the rotary motion into reciprocating motion.

VALVE ASSEMBLY

The reciprocating compressor cylinder valves are of the spring-loaded, gas-actuated type. Reciprocating compressors typically operate with valve plate assemblies that include a valve plate to which is affixed a suction valve and a discharge valve to control the intake and discharge of Air. Valve assembly Consits Seat Plate, Valve Plate, Spring Plate, Cushion Plate, Stud wih Lock nut.

Air compressor auxiliary valve works as a constant speed control device. Safety Valve, Non Return Valve also helps the Air Discharge.

CRANKSHAFT AND CROSS HEAD ASSEMBLY

The process of compressing air is similar to the operation of an internal combustion engine and is powered with electricity. Air compressor parts are also similar to a small gas engine. They consist of a cross head, connecting rod, crankshaft, cylinder, and valve head.
