A gas compressor is a mechanical device thatincreases the pressure of a gas by reducing itsvolume.
Compressors are similar to pumps: bothincrease the pressure on a fluid and both cantransport the fluid through a pipe. As gases arecompressible, the compressor also reduces the
volume of a gas. Liquids are relativelyincompressible, so the main action of a pump isto pressurize and transport liquids.

Often called a third utility (after electricity andnatural gas)
Almost every manufacturing plant has air
compressors that operate. Compressed air used for controls, to move
things around, to clean work areas, to liftthings, and hold things in place
Can be a significant part of electrical load

Pressure usually measured in pounds persquare inch (psi)
Usually talk about gage pressure (psig), which is
pressure measured above atmospheric pressure Absolute pressure (psia) used for calculations,
pressure measured against vacuum
Absolute Pressure = Gage Pressure + 14.7 psia

Use pistons driven by acrankshaft
. They can beeither stationary orportable, can be single ormulti-staged, and can bedriven by electric motors
or internal combustionengines. Smallreciprocating compressorsfrom 5 to 30 horsepower(hp) are commonly seen inautomotive applications
and are typically forintermittent duty. Largerreciprocating compressorswell over 1,000 hp(750 kW) are commonlyfound in large industrialand petroleum
applications.

Discharge pressures canrange from low pressure tovery high pressure (>18000
psi or 180 MPa). In certainapplications, such as aircompression, multi-stagedouble-acting compressorsare said to be the mostefficient compressors
available, and are typicallylarger, and more costly thancomparable rotary units.Another type ofreciprocating compressor is
the swash plate compressor,which uses pistons which aremoved by a swash platemounted on a shaft.

1) Cylinder: In small compressors the cylinder is made by directly boring into the main
body of the compressor, which is usually made up of cast iron. In case of thelarge multi-cylinder compressors, the cylinder is made separately and it is fittedinto the main body of the compressor. This type of cylinder is also called as theliner or sleeve. In such compressors if any of the cylinders gets worn out ordamaged, it can be replaced easily by the new liner, without having to replacethe whole compressor.
2) Piston: The piston performs upwards and downwards motion inside the cylinder,
which is also called as the reciprocating motion. During its motion the pistonenables suction and compression of the refrigerant. The piston is made of castiron or aluminum. During its motion inside the cylinder the refrigerant shouldnot leak through the gap between the cylinder walls and the piston to thecrankcase, hence piston is covered with the piston rings. The piston rings arenot required in the smaller compressors. The gap between the piston and the
cylinder is also filled with the lubricating oil, which also prevents the leakage ofthe compressed refrigerant to the crankcase.
3) Piston rings: The piston rings are circled around the piston. When the piston performs
reciprocating motion inside the cylinder, it is the piston rings that come incontact with the walls of the cylinder. There is lots of friction between thecylinder walls and the piston rings, thus they have to be replaced from time-to-
time for proper functioning of the compressor. This helps increasing the life ofthe piston and prevents replacement of the complete piston.

4) Crankshaft: The piston can perform reciprocating motion inside the cylinder
because of the rotary motion of the crankshaft. The crankshaft isthe main shaft of the compressor. On one side it is connected to the
electric motor directly by the coupling or by the belt and pulleyarrangement. The rotation of the motor shaft brings about therotation of the crankshaft. On the other side the crankshaft is alsoconnected to the connecting rod, which is then connected to thepiston at it other end. The rotary motion of the crankshaft isconverted into the reciprocating motion of the piston by
connecting rod. In case of the multi-cylinder compressors, thenumber of connecting rods connected to the crankshaft is same asthe number of cylinders.
5) Connecting Rod: The connecting rod is the connecting link between the piston and
the crankshaft. On one side the connecting rod is connected to the
piston by piston pin and on the other side it is connected to thecrankshaft by connecting rod cap. Both these connections of theconnecting rod enable converting the rotary motion of thecrankshaft into the reciprocating motion of the piston inside thecylinder. The connecting rod is usually made up of carbon steelforging.

6) Suction Valve and Discharge Valve:
Through the suction valve the low pressure refrigerant issucked inside the cylinder and through the discharge valvethe compressed high pressure refrigerant is discharged to thedischarge line, from where the refrigerant goes to thecondenser. The operation of the suction valve is such that isopens when the piston moves downwards and closes whenthe refrigerant is being discharged. The discharge valve opensonly when piston reaches to certain level inside the cylinder
and refrigerant has reached to the desired level of pressure.When the refrigerant is delivered from the cylinder, thedischarge valve closes.
7) Suction and Discharge Pipelines:
Through the suction piping the low pressure refrigerant istaken inside the cylinder via suction valve. The high pressurecompressed refrigerant is delivered though the discharge line

Single-Acting Compressors: These are usually
reciprocating compressors,which has piston working onair only in one direction. Theother end of the piston isoften free or open whichdoes not perform any work.The air is compressed onlyon the top part of the piston.The bottom of the piston is
open to crankcase and notutilized for the compressionof air.
Double-ActingCompressors:
These compressors are
having two sets ofsuction/intake and deliveryvalves on both sides of thepiston. As the piston movesup and down, both sides ofthe piston is utilized incompressing the

The majority of applications for reciprocatingcompressors are in the oil and gas industries. Oilrefineries use these compressors for processes that
require high pressure delivery of essential gases.The natural gas industry also utilizesreciprocating compressors to transport gas viacross country pipelines. These compressors can
also be found in chemical plants, refrigerationplants, air compressors for tooling, etc.

Rotary screw compressorsuse two meshed rotatingpositive-displacementhelical screws to force thegas into a smaller space.These are usually used forcontinuous operation incommercial and industrialapplications and may beeither stationary orportable. Their applicationcan be from 3 horsepower(2.2 kW) to over1,200 horsepower (890 kW)
and from low pressure tomoderately high pressure(>1200 psi or 8.3 MPa).

Oil-free
In an oil-free compressor, the air is compressed entirelythrough the action of the screws, without the assistance
of an oil seal. They usually have lower maximumdischarge pressure capability as a result. However,multi-stage oil-free compressors, where the air iscompressed by several sets of screws, can achievepressures of over 150 psig, and output volume of over
2000 cubic feet per minute (measured at 60 C andatmospheric pressure).
Oil-free compressors are used in applications whereentrained oil carry-over is not acceptable, such asmedicial research and semiconductor manufacturing.
However, this does not preclude the need for filtrationas hydrocarbons and other contaminants ingested fromthe ambient air must also be removed prior to the point-of-use. Subsequently, air treatment comparable to anOil-flooded screw compressor is frequently stillrequired to ensure a given quality of compressed air.

Oil-flooded
In an oil-flooded rotary screw compressor, oil is
injected into the compression cavities to aidsealing and provide cooling sink for the gascharge. The oil is separated from the dischargestream, then cooled, filtered and recycled. The oil
captures non-polar particulates from theincoming air, effectively reducing the particleloading of compressed air particulate filtration. Itis usual for some entrained compressor oil to
carry over into the compressed gas streamdownstream of the compressor.

Axial-flow compressors are
dynamic rotating compressors thatuse arrays of fan-like airfoils toprogressively compress the workingfluid. They are used where there is arequirement for a high flow rate or a
compact design.
The arrays of airfoils are set in rows,usually as pairs: one rotating andone stationary. The rotating airfoils,
also known as blades or rotors,accelerate the fluid. The stationaryairfoils, also known as stators orvanes, decelerate and redirect theflow direction of the fluid, preparing
it for the rotor blades of the nextstage

Axial compressors canhave high efficiencies;around 90% polytropic
at their designconditions. However,they are relativelyexpensive, requiring alarge number of
components, tighttolerances and highquality materials. Axial-flow compressors can befound in medium to
large gas turbineengines, in natural gaspumping stations, andwithin certain chemicalplants.

Centrifugal compressors usea rotating disk or impeller ina shaped housing to force thegas to the rim of the impeller,increasing the velocity of thegas. A diffuser (divergentduct) section converts thevelocity energy to pressureenergy.Their application canbe from 100 horsepower(75 kW) to thousands ofhorsepower. With multiplestaging, they can achieveextremely high outputpressures greater than10,000 psi (69 MPa).

Isothermal Compression/Expansion Processes If a compression or expansion takes place under constant
temperature conditions - the process is said to be isothermal.The isothermal process can with the Ideal Gas Law beexpressed as
p / = constant
where p = absolute pressure = density The isothermal process can also be expressed as pV = constant or p1V1 = p2V2 where V = gas volume (m3, ft3...) suffix

Isentropic (or adiabatic) Compression/Expansion Processes
If a compression or expansion takes place under constantvolume conditions - the process is said to be isentropic. Theisentropic process can with the Ideal Gas Law be expressed as
p /k = constant
where k = cp / cv - the ratio of specific heats - the ratio of specific heat at
constant pressure- cp - to the specific heat at constant volume - cv
The isentropic or adiabatic process can also be expressed as
pVk= constant
or p1V1
k = p2V2k

Polytropic Compression/Expansion Process An isothermal process must occur very slowly to keep
the temperature in the gas constant. The adiabaticprocess must occur very rapidly without any flow ofenergy in or out of the system. In practice most
expansion and compression processes are somewhere inbetween, or said to be polytropic.
The polytropic process can be expressed as
pVn= constant (3a)
or p1V1
n = p2V2n (3b)
where
n = polytropic index (ranging 1 to 1.4)
