Reciprocating Compressor
It is a modern industrial machine that compresses gas with the reciprocating (back and forth) motion of a piston within a cylinder. It is often called a “recip”.”
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Introduction
• Recips are also called Positive Displacement Compressors because the piston decreases the volume of the gas to directly increase its pressure.
• On the other hand, centrifugal compressors impart velocity to the gas that is converted to pressure.
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Compressor CycleProcesses involved:
– Compression• To raise the pressure of gas to delivery pressure.
– Discharge• To supply the high pressure gas.
– Expansion• The gases left in the clearance volume expands to
atmospheric pressure.
– Intake• To take the fresh gas for increasing pressure

Intake air filters( wet ,dry) cyclone paper filter,Intake Air Filters that prevent dust from entering a compressor. Dust
causes sticking valves, scratched cylinders, excessive wear etc
Inter-stage coolersInter-stage Coolers that reduce the temperature of the air before it
enters the next stage to reduce the work of compression and increase efficiency. They are normally water-cooled in large compressors.
After coolersAfter-Coolers with the objective to remove the moisture in the air by
reducing the temperature in a water-cooled heat exchanger
Main Components in Compressed Air Systems
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
• Moisture drain traps
Moisture drain traps that are used for removal of moisture in the compressed air.
• Receivers
provided as storage and smoothening pulsating air output - reducing pressure variations from the compressor
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
23
• Significant influence on energy use
Energy Efficiency Opportunities
1. Location
2. Elevation• Higher altitude = lower volumetric
efficiency
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
24
3. Air Intake
• Keep intake air free from contaminants, dust or moist
• Keep intake air temperature low
Every 4 oC rise in inlet air temperature = 1%
higher energy consumption
Energy Efficiency Opportunities
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
25
4. Pressure Drops in Air Filter
• Install filter in cold location or draw air from cold location
• Keep pressure drop across intake air filter to a minimum
Energy Efficiency Opportunities
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
26
5. Use Inter and After Coolers
• Inlet air temperature rises at each stage of multi-stage machine
• Inter coolers: heat exchangers that remove heat between stages
• After coolers: reduce air temperature after final stage
• Use water at lower temperature: reduce power
Energy Efficiency Opportunities
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
27
• Higher pressure
• More power required for compressors
• Operating above recommended pressures(rated operating pressure)
• Waste of energy
• Excessive wear

• Consequences• Energy waste: 20 – 30% of output• Drop in system pressure• Shorter equipment life
• Common leakage areas• Couplings, hoses, tubes, fittings• Pressure regulators• Open condensate traps, shut-off valves• Pipe joints, disconnects, thread sealants
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
• Use ultrasonic acoustic detector
• Tighten joints and connections
• Replace faulty equipment
8. Condensate Removal
• Condensate formed as after-cooler reduces discharge air temperature
• Install condensate separator trap to remove condensate

9. Controlled usage
Do not use for low-pressure applications: Combustion air, agitation pneumatic conveying, air circulation, Use blowers instead.
10. Compressor controls• Automatically turns off compressor
when not needed
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan

11. Maintenance Practices
• Lubrication: Check regularly
• Air filters: Replace regularly (before compression)
• Condensate traps: Ensure drainage
• Air dryers: Inspect and replace filters
(After compression)12. Control the irresponsible use of compressed air (unintended)
• Drying of clothes or hair
• Body cleaning/playing
(After compression)
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Advantages of Reciprocating Compressors Over Centrifugal Compressors
• Lower capital investment• Higher pressures (up to 60,000 psi) • Variable loading without surge • Ease of installation• Design flexibility
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Without Effective Monitoring
• Increased wear makes part life shorter than planned maintenance intervals– severe damage results
• Decreased wear makes part life longer than planned maintenance intervals
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Basic Design
• A reciprocating compressor consists of the following major components:
• frame, • crankshaft, • crosshead, • distance piece,• pressure packing, • cylinder, • piston, • valves.• Of course, it also requires a source of power or a prime
mover.
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Basic Design
• Horizontal balance-opposed compressor:
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Major Components
• Frame• Crankshaft• Crosshead• Distance piece• Cylinder• Piston/piston rod• Valves
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Frame
• Includes all static parts:– supports– cylinders– distance pieces– crosshead guides– crankcase– bolting– foundation
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Frame
• Horizontal balance-opposed: cylinders are separated by 180º about the crankshaft
• Heavy and rigid• Designed to minimize vibration
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Crankshaft
• Powered by a prime mover:– motor,– turbine, or– internal combustion engine
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Crankshaft
• A flywheel mounts to the crankshaft to attenuate torsional forces.
• Not generally the source of recip malfunction.
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Crosshead
• Sliding element with only one degree of freedom
• Converts rotational motion into translational motion.
• Together with the crankshaft and connecting rod it forms a classic slider-crank mechanism.
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Pressure Packing
• Seal around the piston rod • Keeps pressure in the cylinder • Plastic or bronze• Higher pressure requires more rings of
pressure packing
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Cylinder
• The housing in which the piston reciprocates to compress gas
• Valves at each end where gas enters and escapes
• Protected by wear bands (usually made of Teflon®) on the piston
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Piston
• Reciprocates within the cylinder to compress gas.
• Uses compression rings to seal the gap between its circumference and the cylinder wall.
• Is protected by rider rings (or wear rings) which provide a riding surface within the cylinder.
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Piston
• Can be single-acting or double-acting (performs work in only one or in both directions of travel).
• Double-acting pistons are the most common.
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Piston Rod
• Connects the piston to the crosshead• Sealed within the crank end head by
pressure packing
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Valves
• Allow relatively unrestricted flow in one direction while blocking flow in the other direction
• Usually are automatic (open and close by differential gas pressure and springs)
• At least one intake and one discharge valve is needed in each cylinder.
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Configurations
• Single-acting or double-acting– difference is whether piston compresses gas in
one direction or in both
• Lubricated or non-lubricated– non-lubricated if gas is sensitive to oil
contamination
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Configurations (cont.)
• Single or multiple stage– gas is compressed in stages in multiple stage– to increase efficiency, the gas is cooled between
stages– intermediate cooling is called intercooling
• Single or multiple gas streams
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Configurations (cont.)
• Two to ten cylinders per machine– even numbers because they are horizontal
balance-opposed to cancel vibration forces
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Theoretical Compression Cycles
• Adiabatic Compression– All heat generated is retained in the gas (no
heat transfer).
• Isothermal Compression– Temperature of the gas is kept constant during
compression with heat removal devices.
• Actual Cycle is between the two.
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Intercooling
• Intercooling in multistage compressors maximizes efficiency.– 1st stage is close to adiabatic
• Intercoolers between the stages bring the process closer to isothermal.– Isothermal compression requires less power.
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Losses Affecting Efficiency
• Spring force in valves• “Sticktion” (valve friction)• Valve plate inertia• Pressure drop through valve• Leaking past rings• Packing leakage
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Piston Rings
• Piston rings can wear out rapidly and fail if rider bands are not maintained.
• Worn piston rings, also diminish efficiency and can cause the machine not to function correctly.
Rider Rings
Rider rings/bands are provided to prevent contact of the compressor piston with the cylinder wall. Such contact could cause problems such as scuffing or more serious and costly problems such as piston and/or liner replacement. Rider rings/bands are normally made of a low friction material such as a Telfon(tm) blend but they can also be supplied in bronze and/or PEEK(tm) for harsh applications
with high temperatures.
DR. Muhammad Mahmood Aslam Bhutta Lahore ,Pakistan
Piston Rings
• Broken rings can be identified by looking at the vibration waveform (ac component) from the proximity probes.
• Normal waveform has small amplitude and is sinusoidal.
• Damaged rings will produce a waveform with spikes.
