A piston compressor is a fairly used and common device that is used to produce compressed air. It is installed in industries where compressed air is needed in large quantities.
The device consists of a piston, a working cylinder, as well as two valves (pressure and suction), which are located on the cover of the device. For operation in the compressor, a crankshaft must be rotated, which is connected to the connecting rod. In
this case, the piston begins to make
translational-rotational movements. Air overcomes the voltage of the spring of the suction valve and enters the device through the suction pipe.
The piston compressor then releases compressed air under pressure through a discharge valve. The crankshaft rotates through an autonomous or electric motor.
A piston compressor can be of several types, they can be classified into:
- single-cylinder or multi-cylinder;
- in-line, W-shaped or V-shaped;
- multistage and single-stage.
A piston compressor has a different capacity, which depends mainly on the conditions of air intake and is rather theoretical. It represents the volume of air that a device can pump over a certain unit of time. Naturally, the real performance in this case will be very different.
A device such as a reciprocating compressor must be correctly selected. Its durability and quality of performance of functions depend on this. First of all, when choosing, it is desirable to pay attention to the greatest pressure and performance of the device. The pressure in the unit should not be less than that of the consumer. In order to choose the right performance, you need to decide on the amount of air that you need, and calculate your own need for the device in the air. Based on these factors, you can select a device model, for example, a Fubag piston compressor can be a good option. Such models can be effectively used both in everyday life and in industry, because they are designed for operation in difficult conditions.
It is also necessary to pay attention to the amount of energy that the device consumes, as well as the height of the voltage at which it can be operated normally. Naturally, you need to decide how the device will be used. For example, if it does not work for long and not often, then it is worth choosing a simpler option. Otherwise, you should focus on professional models. Naturally, the choice also depends on the cost of the device.
Remeza reciprocating compressors are popular, which can be used in domestic conditions, at car service stations, in the service sector. They have an acceptable cost, as well as a long service life. At the same time, the presented devices can work perfectly even under high loads.
