Compressors-Intermittant Compression

The best known example of these are reciprocating piston compressors, the major component being the piston that moves within a cylinder. It operates like any other reciprocating cylinder system, on one cycle te pressure within the cylinder drops and the fluid enters. As the piston proceeds the fluid is compressed and then dis-charged. They may …

Compressors-Continuous Compression

In a sense they function like pumps, they perfom mechanical work on a process fluid. This results in the reduction of fluid volume, but an increase in the fliud pressure. The compressors transfer this energy either continuously or intermittently. Continuous energy transfer compressors, are either ejector or dynamic. The dynamic compressors are either axial or …
