piston driven compressor for flue gas pressurization

Piston drive compressor is a type of volumetric compressor that relies on the mechanical movement of the piston to compress gas. It pressurizes the gas through the reciprocating motion of the piston in the cylinder, and has a large range of discharge pressure and volume, which is widely used in industries requiring high pressure and large flow rate.

Description

Our piston-driven compressors are designed for efficient, stable operation in high-pressure environments, making them ideal for applications across oil, gas, chemical, metallurgy, and other industries. We provide fully customized solutions to ensure every compressor meets the specific requirements of your site.

Working Principle of Piston Driven Compressor

Based on the volumetric compression principle, piston compressors operate continuously as follows:

  1. Suction process: The piston moves downward, reducing cylinder pressure below ambient, opening the suction valve and drawing gas into the cylinder.
  2. Compression process: The piston moves upward, compressing the gas. As the piston travels, the gas volume decreases and its pressure increases.
  3. Exhaust process: Once the gas reaches the required pressure, the exhaust valve opens, releasing compressed gas to the downstream system.

This cycle, powered by the reciprocating piston motion, ensures continuous, efficient gas pressurization and delivery, with high volumetric efficiency for large gas flows in compact units.

Characteristics of Piston Driven Compressor
