Overview:
Piston (reciprocating) compressors are one of the oldest and most widely used types, relying on a piston-cylinder mechanism to compress air. They are categorized into single-stage and multi-stage variants, with pressure ranges from 0.3 MPa to over 100 MPa.
Key Features:
Affordability: Lower initial cost compared to rotary compressors, making them ideal for small workshops or intermittent use.
High Pressure: Capable of delivering ultra-high pressures (up to 500 bar), suitable for industrial gas compression and hydraulic systems.
Simple Maintenance: Easy-to-replace components like valves and piston rings reduce downtime.
Applications:
Automotive repair shops, small manufacturing units, and pneumatic tool operations.
High-pressure gas filling stations (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen).
Limitations:
Higher vibration and noise levels compared to rotary models.
Less energy-efficient for continuous operations.
