Compressor Overview
• Reciprocating compressor?
Reciprocating compressors are commonly called piston
compressors.
Compressor Overview
There is an inlet or suction valve and a discharge valve. Both are one way valves and both are spring
loaded so it takes a certain amount of force to open them. The inlet valve will only let air come into the cylinder
and the discharge valve will only let air out. As the piston moves downward through the cylinder, air is sucked in
the inlet valve. When the piston moves up through the cylinder the inlet valve closes and the discharge won't
open until a certain amount of force is applied. This causes the air to be trapped inside while the volume is
reduced, increasing the pressure. When the pressure is enough to open the discharge valve, then the air goes
out at the higher pressure.
Single-acting recip compressors only have valves on top of the cylinder, so there is one compression cycle for
every turn of the crankshaft.
Double-acting recips are some of the most efficient compressors ever built, but they're not as common as
they used to be. They're still around, but they're extremely large. You rarely see one under 100 hp. Back in
the days, they used to be called earth-movers, because being around one felt like you were in an
earthquake. If the compressor didn't have the right foundation and vibration isolation, it could tear down the
building it was in. These used to be the workhorses in manufacturing plants, but in the last 20-30 years that
role was taken over by rotary screw compressors.

• The crankcase forms the lubricating oil sump, and is complete with tapped holes for the oil
level window nut, the oil pump suction feed pipe, the crankcase drain plug and the oil cooler.

• Oil Pump
• gear type oil pump driven via a coupling off the non-drive
end of the crankshaft is driven via a coupling off the non-
drive end of the crankshaft
Oil is drawn by the pump from the
crankcase sump through a wire mesh
strainer and external pipe. The oil is
delivered through a full-flow fine-mesh
cartridge filter to the oil ways in the
crankshaft.
Any excess oil output is by-passed back
to the sump by a spring-loaded
pressure relief valve mounted on the
crankcase main bearing housing.

The compressor unloader is
used to remove all the
compression load from the
compressor while unit is
starting and applies the
load after the compressor
is up to speed.
The unloading system is
also used on air
compressors to regulate
output if the compressor
run continuously.
Unloading the reciprocating
air compressor may be
accomplished by:
Closing or throttling the
compressor intake.
Holding the intake valves off
their seats.
Relieving the intercoolers to

Compressor identification
• The compressed air system receivers are
classified as an unfired pressure vessel.
• The air receiver must be protected with a
relief valve.
• The air receiver must be open for internal
inspection at the C.O.I. Inspection every two
years.
• The air receiver must have a drain valve to
remove water.
• The air receiver stores air for the system and
also dampens pulsations in the system.
