What is Reciprocating Air Compressor?

Reciprocating Air Compressor is a positive uprooting air compressor in which air is sucked in a chamber and compacted with the assistance of a reciprocating piston. It is called as certain relocation compressor since air is first sucked in a chamber and afterward pressure is accomplished by decreasing space of the piston.

Working Principle

In reciprocating air compressor, as the cylinder moves towards the BDC, the air is sucked into the chamber from the air and when it moves towards the TDC, the pressure of the air starts and continues proceeding to pressure increases. At the point when the pressing factor increases upto its plan restrict it pushes the discharge valve to open and the compressed air is delivered to the storage tank.

Main Parts Of Reciprocating Air Compressor:

Piston: It has reciprocating motion in the cylinder and it compresses the air.
Cylinder: The air is compressed in the cylinder.
Connection Rod: This connects the piston and crankshaft.
Crankshaft: This is connected to the shaft of the electric motor and transfers rotary motion to the piston.
Suction valve: Air is sucked through a suction valve when the piston moves to BDC.
Discharge valve: Compressed air is discharged through the discharge valve to the storage tank.

Working of Reciprocating Compressor

The reciprocating air compressor is controlled by an electric engine or by diesel/gas motors.  At the point when the power in on, the electric engine turns over pivoting and turns the driving rod which attached to it and the piston begins moving the back and forth movement inside a cylinder.  The piston is moved descending the air from the environment goes into the cylinder chamber.  Subsequent to coming to BDC the piston begin moving vertical and the pressure compression of air starts and its pressing factor tends to increase.  After reaching at the set pressing factor the discharge valve is open and through it, the compressed air is move to a capacity tank where it can be used.
