- 2. A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas or air by reducing its volume. They work by taking in air or another gas at a certain pressure and compressing it to a higher pressure, making it useful for various industrial, commercial, and residential purposes. Compressors are similar to pumps both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through pipe COMPRESSOR
- 3. TYPES OF COMPRESSOR Reciprocating Compressor Rotary Compressor Scroll Compressor Screw Compressor Centrifugal Compressor
- 4. RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR Is a type of compressor that uses a piston driven by a crankshaft to compress gases, such as air or natural gas, within a cylinder. The compressor operates in a similar manner to an internal combustion engine, with the piston moving back and forth (reciprocating) inside the cylinder to compress the gas. They can be driven by electricity or internal combustion engine. It is mostly used in oil refineries, gas pipelines, chemical plants, natural gas processing plant etc.
- 5. A piston in a compressor is a crucial component that moves within a cylinder to compress gas or air. The piston operates by moving back and forth (reciprocating motion) inside the cylinder. A crankshaft in a compressor is a key mechanical component that converts the rotational motion of the motor or engine into the reciprocating motion of the pistons. It plays a vital role in the operation of reciprocating compressors.
- 6. CLASSIFICATION OF RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR Single Stage Reciprocating Compressor Double Stage Reciprocating Compressor Multi Stage Reciprocating Compressor
- 7. SINGLE STAGE RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR A single-stage reciprocating compressor is a type of compressor that compresses air or gas in a single step or stage. In this type of compressor, the entire compression process—from atmospheric pressure to the final discharge pressure—takes place in one cylinder.
- 8. DOUBLE STAGE RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR A double-stage reciprocating compressor, also known as a two-stage reciprocating compressor, is a type of compressor that compresses air or gas in two stages to achieve higher pressure levels than a single-stage compressor. The compression process is divided into two distinct stages, with an intercooling process between them.
- 9. MULTI STAGE RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR A multi-stage reciprocating compressor is a type of compressor that compresses air or gas through more than two stages to achieve very high pressure levels. Each stage of compression progressively increases the pressure of the air or gas, with cooling processes between stages to improve efficiency and reduce the temperature of the compressed air.
- 10. ROTARY COMPRESSOR A rotary compressor is a type of compressor that uses a rotating mechanism to compress air or gas. Unlike reciprocating compressors, rotary compressors do not have pistons or crankshafts. Instead, they use continuous rotary motion, making them smoother, quieter, and more efficient in certain applications.
- 11. Rotary compressor have vanes, screws, scrolls and other devices which rotates and thus compress air and gasses.
- 12. A scroll compressor is a type of rotary compressor that uses two interleaved spiral-shaped scrolls to compress air or gas. One of the scrolls is fixed in place, while the other orbits around it. This mechanism creates pockets of air that are progressively compressed as they move towards the center of the scrolls. SCROLL COMPRESSOR
- 13. It has one fixed scroll that remains stationary and one moving or orbiting scroll that rotates through the use of a scroll link. It is widely used for airconditioning purpose, used as a vaccum pump and also in automobiles as a supercharger.
- 14. A screw compressor is a type of rotary compressor that uses two intermeshing helical screws, known as rotors, to compress air or gas. The rotors, which are precisely engineered to fit together, rotate in opposite directions within a sealed chamber. As the screws turn, they trap air between the rotor teeth and the compressor casing, compressing it as the volume between the rotors decreases. SCREW COMPRESSOR
- 15. Uses a pair of helical rotors where it traps and compresses the air or gas as the rotor revolve in the cylinder
- 16. A centrifugal compressor is a type of dynamic compressor that uses the principles of centrifugal force to compress air or gas. It operates by converting the kinetic energy of the gas into pressure energy using a high-speed rotating impeller. This type of compressor is commonly used in applications requiring large volumes of compressed air or gas at relatively moderate to high pressures. CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR
- 17. Centrifugal compressor widely used in chemical plants, refineries, for gas injection applications and in the transmission & storage of natural gas.
- 18. In this compressor the air and gas moved in circular motion that known as centrifugal force. An impeller which is a disk with radial blades spins rapidly inside the housing causing the gas to gain velocity
