But according to stages the building of discharge pressure is different in each compressor.
Reciprocating air compressor working principle.
You can now understand how this device works.
In reciprocating air compressor as the piston moves towards the bdc the air is sucked into the cylinder from the atmosphere and when it moves towards the tdc the compression of the air starts and keeps on going and pressure increases.
Reciprocating air compressor has also classified according to its stages.
So classification will help you better understand the working of the reciprocating air compressor.
Now that you have understood what an air compressor is its type and application.
A reciprocating air compressor works much like the engine fitted in your car motorcycle or any other machinery.
