3. COMPRESSOR

4. INTRODUCTION
 A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by
reducing its volume.
 An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor.
 As gases are compressible, the compressor also reduces the volume of a gas.

5. TYPES OF COMPRESSOR
There are following types of compressors
 Positive displacement
1) Reciprocating compressor
2) Ionic liquid piston compressor
3) Rotary screw compressor
4) Rolling piston
5) Diaphragm compressor

6.  Dynamic
1)Air bubble compressor
2)centrifugal compressor
3)Diagonal or mixed flow compressor
4)Axial flow compressor
Centrifugal compressor

7. Reciprocating Compressor
 A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a positive displacement
compressor that uses pistons driven by a crank shaft to deliver gases at high
pressure.
 This type of compressor uses piston cylinder arrangement to compress the air

8.  There are two types of reciprocating compressors
1)single acting reciprocating compressor:-
In single acting reciprocating pump
piston reciprocate only In one dire-
on.

9. 2)Double acting reciprocating compressor:-
In double acting reciprocating pump
both side are effectively use to com-
press the air

10. SPECIFICATION OF COMPRESSOR USED
 Pressure :- 90 PSI = 6.201 bar
 Capacity :- 8L
 Power :- 1HP
Zero maintenance oil free single acting reciprocating compressor

11. SINGLE ACTING RECIPROCATING PUMP
 In this type of compressor , the piston back and forth inside the cylinder and
compress the air .
 There are two sets of valves that take care of air intake and exhaust

12.  Working :-
 The compressor takes inside successive amount of volume of air from int-
ake valve and confined it in closed surface at that time piston moves do-
wnwards the with the closure of intake valve.
 Then there is compression of air by reducing its volume.
 Now the piston moves upward and compress the air and then displace the
compressed air through exhaust valve.

13. ADVANTAGES:-
 Relatively cheap
 Easy maintenance
 Suitable for high pressure
 Large range of horsepower

14. DISADVANTAGES
 Sound too much. You have to arrange a room for it or to put it into isolating
box
 High outlet temperature of compressed air
 High oil content in the pipe

15. APPLICATION
 Reciprocating pump generally seen where there is requirement of high
pressure and low flow .
 Mostly where the air is used for hand-tool , cleaning dust, small paint jobs,
commercial uses. etc
