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 (discharge and suction), which are placed on the cover of the device. To work in the compressor, the crankshaft must rotate, which is connected to the connecting rod. In this case, the piston begins to make translational-rotational movements. Air overcomes the spring tension of the suction valve and enters the unit through the suction port.
Next, the reciprocating compressor releases pressurized compressed air through the discharge valve. The crankshaft is rotated by an autonomous or electric motor.
Reciprocating 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.
The reciprocating compressor has different capacity, which depends mainly on the air intake conditions and is rather theoretical. It represents the volume of air that the device can pump in a certain unit of time. Naturally, the actual performance in this case will be very different.
A device such as a reciprocating compressor must be properly selected. Its durability and quality of performance of functions depends on this. First of all, when choosing, it is desirable to pay attention to the highest pressure and performance of the device. In the unit, the pressure should not be less than that of the consumer. In order to choose the right performance, you need to determine the amount of air you need and calculate the device's own air requirement. 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 use in difficult conditions.
It is also necessary to pay attention to the amount of energy that the device consumes, as well as the voltage level at which it can be operated normally. Naturally, you need to decide how exactly the device will be used. For example, if it willwork for a short time and not often, then it is worth choosing a simpler option. Otherwise, you should stop your attention on professional models. Naturally, the choice also depends on the cost of the device.
Popular are Remeza piston compressors, which can be used at home, at car service stations, in the service sector. They are affordable and have a long service life. At the same time, the presented devices can work perfectly even under high loads.
