reciprocating compressor for gas treatment and processing

This reciprocating compressor is commonly used in hydrogen production, petrochemical, fluorine chemical, metallurgy, and other industries, meeting a wide range of needs from low pressure to ultra-high pressure. Designed for versatility and reliability, it is ideal for both demanding and general industrial applications.

Working Principle of Reciprocating Compressor

The reciprocating compressor operates on the principle of volume change, utilizing the reciprocating motion of a piston in a cylinder to intake and compress gas. The workflow is as follows:

1. Suction stage: The piston moves downward, lowering cylinder pressure, opening the suction valve, and drawing gas into the cylinder.
2. Compression stage: The piston moves upward, decreasing cylinder volume and compressing the gas, raising its pressure.
3. Exhaust stage: When gas pressure reaches the set level, the exhaust valve opens and discharges the gas into downstream equipment.
4. Return stage: The piston moves downward again, preparing for the next cycle.

This cycle allows the compressor to continuously compress and deliver gas to the required pressure.

Features of Reciprocating Compressors

1. Wide discharge pressure and flow range: Adaptable to various working conditions from low to ultra-high pressure for different industrial needs.
2. High volumetric efficiency: Volumetric working principle enhances compression efficiency and reduces energy consumption.
