Piston compressors use the piston and the cylinder to increase pressure by compressing air. Piston compressors used for industrial applications are also needed in building works and road constructions.

 How Does a Piston Compressor Work?

In piston compressors, the movement is provided by the transfer of the engine to the piston crank with the belt-pulley system and by means of connecting rods. The piston of the piston compressors that is located within the cylinder move and produce energy. The piston of the machine with positive displacement moves and absorbs the air in the atmosphere by cleaning it with a filter. The air cleaned in the filter reaches the stroke volume after passing through the intake valves. With the vertical movement of the piston, it is provided that the stroke volume is compressed up to the top dead centre, and compressed air is sent to the system from the discharge valves.

 Piston Compressor Types

Piston compressors involve single-cylinder or multi-cylinder and also single-stage or multi-stage. Multi-cylinder compressors are used for larger capacities, and multi-stage piston compressors are used for higher pressures.

To obtain low pressure, a single-stage (usually 8-10 bar) compressor is used. For higher pressure air, two-stage (usually 10-15 bar) compressors are needed. Two-stage compressors transfer the compressed air to the second head with the first head block, and thus the desired high pressures are obtained by providing recompression.

If the piston compressor consists of two or three stages, the air created by the stages is transferred to the second or third stage with the help of an intercooler. After that, the air in the compressors is collected from inside of the collector and sent to the air tank. Certain amounts of water vapour occur in the atmosphere gas stored within the tank. Water vapour occurred is drained by the water drain valves in the lower location of the tank. In this manner, dehumidified air becomes ready for use. If the compressed air in the system is required to be completely dry, a compressed air dryer with appropriate technical specifications is integrated into the system.

There are many different types of piston machines according to their capacities as well as machines with a capacity between 0,25 and 100 litres. Single- and two-stage piston compressors are ideal for small workshops and factories. Compressors providing high pressure with larger capacity are needed in the maritime sector.
