Reciprocating Compressors – Piston

Posted on September 22, 2009

The piston is located at the end of the piston rod and acts as a movable barrier in the compressor cylinder. It is generally made…

Reciprocating Compressors – Crosshead, Rods, and Crankshaft

Posted on September 22, 2009

The crosshead converts the rotating motion of the connecting rod to a linear, reciprocating motion, which drives the piston as shown in Figure 11-10. The…
