Piston-type air compressors operate through a reciprocating motion mechanism to compress air. The core process involves four stages: intake, compression, discharge, and cooling, forming a continuous cycle.
Working procedures
1.Intake Phase
The inlet valve opens as the piston moves downward, creating a vacuum that draws ambient air into the cylinder.
2.Compression Phase
The piston moves upward, reducing the air volume within the cylinder. According to the ideal gas law (), this volume reduction causes a rapid increase in air temperature and pressure.
3.Discharge Phase
Once the air pressure exceeds the system resistance, the outlet valve opens, directing high-pressure air into the receiver tank for storage.
4.Cooling Phase
The compressed air is cooled via air-cooled fins or water-cooling jackets to prevent component overheating and energy loss.
