The C Series of reciprocating compressors are one of the largest compressors in the worl they are heavy duty and high power. The reciprocating compressor working principle animation video describes a multi cylinder representation of a compressor that has both trunk and crosshead design cylinders. The main parts are highlighted and the principles of the Free Floating Piston is shown. GEA Group 573views.
Reciprocating Compressors are one of the most widely used type of compressors for refrigeration and air conditioning applications. A reciprocating compressor is a positive-displacement machine that uses a piston to compress a gas and deliver it at high pressure.
They are often some of the most critical and expensive systems at a production facility, and deserve special attention. Gas transmission pipelines, petrochemical plants. There is a central crankshaft that drives anywhere from two to six pistons inside cylinders. Apart from the piston and the cylinder arrangement, the reciprocating compressor also comprises of the crankshaft, connecting rod and other small connecting elements. This motor can be electric or internal combustion.
The crankshaft is generally driven by an external motor.
