About Piston Air Compressors
A piston air compressor is a type of air compressor that uses a piston moving inside a cylinder to compress air. It is widely used for workshops, garages, small industries, and home applications due to its durability, high-pressure capability, and affordable cost.
Detailed Description
Piston air compressors operate using a crankshaft-driven piston that moves up and down inside a cylinder:
-
Intake stroke: The piston moves down, drawing atmospheric air into the cylinder through an intake valve.
-
Compression stroke: The piston moves up, compressing the air and pushing it into a storage tank via a discharge valve.
This back-and-forth (reciprocating) motion allows piston compressors to generate high-pressure air, making them suitable for powering pneumatic tools, inflating tires, spray painting, and various industrial tasks.
Types of Piston Air Compressors
1. Single-Stage
-
Air compressed once.
-
Suitable for lower pressures (up to ~100 PSI).
-
Ideal for garages, small shops, and home use.
2. Two-Stage
-
Air compressed twice, with an intercooler between stages.
-
Produces higher pressures (up to ~175200 PSI).
-
Used in manufacturing, auto service centers, and heavy-duty industrial work.
3. Oil-Lubricated
4. Oil-Free
-
Special coatings reduce frictionno oil in the compression chamber.
-
Used for clean-air requirements (food, pharma, medical).
