Description
A piston air compressor is a positive displacement compressor that uses a crankshaft-driven piston and cylinder to compress the air. A two-stage compressor includes an additional step where the air is compressed by a second.
Piston air compressors are available in a variety of configurations, including single-acting, double-acting, oil-lubricated or oil-free. One of the most common configurations is the double-acting design, which features an L-configuration with one vertical, low-pressure cylinder and one horizontal, high-pressure cylinder. Oil-lubricated designs use splash lubrication or pressure lubrication and oil-free designs feature piston rings or toothed walls.
Most piston air compressors have self-acting valves that open and close based on pressure differences on both sides of the valve disk. Some larger machines are equipped with a crosshead, seals and a ventilated intermediate piece to prevent oil from being transferred into the compression chamber
