Operation:
Reciprocating air compressors are positive displacement compressors that operate using a crankshaft driven piston and cylinder to compress incoming air. Two common types of reciprocating air compressors are single and two stage. In a single stage reciprocating compressor, air is drawn into a cylinder and then compressed by a single piston stroke at approximately 125 psi then discharged into a storage tank. A two stage recipricating air compressor adds an additional smaller piston compression stage boosting the pressure up to approximately 175 psi.
Energy Savings:
Discharge Compressed Air is hot and contains a large volume of water vapor. When this air cools, water vapor condenses into liquid that can shorten the life of system components. Our after coolers significantly reduce the temperature of the compressed air to better manage the volume of present water vapor.
