A Simple Guide to Understanding Compressors
A Simple Guide to Understanding Compressors, we will be looking at most types of compressors, including the centrifugal compressors, the air compressors, and of course the most troublesome of all compressors, the reciprocating compressors.
Having a compressor with minimal operating problems does not only depend on the selection of the right type and size for your job. Detailed specifications of all auxiliary equipment and operating conditions, as well as keeping constant vigilance over the engineering and installation is imperative. The Simple Guide will explain in a simple yet definitive manner which compressor type is best used for which job and what it can produce.

This straightforward guide to compressors seeks to unveil a lot of myths surrounding compressors. In this book, we will be looking at most types of compressors, including the centrifugal compressors, the air compressors, and of course the most troublesome of all compressors, the reciprocating compressors.
There are two basic mechanical methods of increasing the pressure of gas: reducing its volume and increasing its velocity so that the velocity energy may be converted into pressure.
Positive-displacement machines that increase the pressure by reducing the volume are as follows:
- Reciprocating compressors, which have a piston moving within a cylinder
- Rotary-screw compressors, in which gas is squeezed between two rotating intermeshed helices and the casing in which they are housed.
- Rotary-lobe compressors, through which gas pushed by inter-meshing lobes.
Since each type of compressor has specific characteristics, these must first be understood.
