A piston/reciprocating compressor is a positive-displacement air compressor using a crankshaft powered by a piston and cylinders. It raises pressure through the mechanical action of a series of pistons. This gets the job done, but it also causes a lot of friction. The process of compressing air decreases its volume while increasing its density without turning it into liquid. Early reciprocating compressors were temperamental and often difficult to keep fully lubricated. Over time, compressor manufacturers have gradually adjusted the size, design, and material composition of the pistons. They have also experimented with new ways to maintain optimal lubrication.

What are the advantages of Piston Air Compressor?
Reciprocating Compressor Technology is Low Price
Piston technology compressors are the oldest types of compressor. They are also the simplest, using very basic physics principles to function. For these reasons, revolutionary changes and improvements in this field are unlikely. But that also means the technology is well understood by all its manufacturers, at least in its most common industrial usage. With little to no research and development cost, as well as simple and well-understood technology, the cost of production is lower. That means a wider range of manufacturers are willing to take on the product or license it under their own label. As such, the buyer benefits from a competitive market which makes for a lower cost of purchase.
Maintenance Technicians are Easier to Find
The age and simplicity of the technology, as well as the research plateau, impacts maintenance in the same way it affects production. For its most common industrial usage, there is no continuous learning process to stay on top of changes in piston compressors. Once a technician understands the basic principles, their skills can only improve. This means piston compressor maintenance is easier to master because the technology is accessible to any technician. You have access to a larger pool of technicians experienced in this technology. Most of the time, the competitive nature of this pool of resources also means a lower cost of maintenance.Piston compressor spare parts are readily available
Technician with Compressor Spare Parts
The availability of spare parts goes hand in hand with the maintenance of your piston compressor. Simple technology results in a high availability of spare parts and maintenance kits. This is especially relevant in light of the many compressors produced under private labels by the same manufacturer.
For the everyday hobbyist compressor spares, the buying alternatives are as varied as there are ways to buy the compressor itself. You can speak with authorised dealers, you can visit your nearest DIY shop, or go for e-commerce sites. Whichever you choose, chances are high that you will find all the spare parts your compressor needs. Or you will find suitable alternatives with the help of the online community.

Working Principle of Piston Air Compressor
When the piston is in the lowest position (called the inner dead centre or bottom dead centre), the cylinder is filled with low-pressure refrigerant vapour inhaled from the evaporator, and the suction process ends.Driven by the crankshaft and connecting rod, the piston starts to move upward. At this time, the suction valve is closed, the working volume of the cylinder is gradually reduced, the gas in the cylinder is compressed, and the temperature and pressure are gradually increased. The process of gas rising from the low pressure of suction to the exhaust pressure in the cylinder is called compression process.
Compression process is generally regarded as an isentropic process.
The piston continues to move upward when the pressure of the gas in the cylinder rises slightly above the pressure of the gas in the exhaust chamber.When the exhaust valve is opened, the high-pressure steam in the cylinder is discharged out of the cylinder under constant pressure until the piston reaches the top position (called the outer dead center or top dead center), and the exhaust process ends.
When the piston moves in the cylinder, the upper end of the piston does not coincide with the top of the cylinder completely, but there is a certain space to ensure the safety and reliability of its operation. This space is called the residual space volume.Due to the residual space volume, when the piston moves to the top dead center, the exhaust is terminated, and a small part of the high pressure gas in the cylinder can not be discharged. When the piston moves in the reverse direction, only when the high-pressure gas expands to a pressure slightly lower than the suction pressure, the suction valve will open and the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant can enter the cylinder.
As the piston moves downward, the expansion process of high pressure gas in the residual space volume ends, the suction process begins. The low-pressure gas is sucked into the cylinder until the piston moves to the bottom dead centre.By far the compressor has completed a working cycle composed of compression, exhaust, expansion and suction.After that, the piston moves downward again, repeating the above four processes, and so on. This is the ideal working process and principle of piston compressor.
The refrigeration process is carried out in the closed circulation system composed of ammonia compressor, cooler, regulating valve and evaporator.After the ammonia liquid pressure was reduced through the regulating valve, it enters the evaporator, absorbs the heat of the cooling medium and evaporates, so as to reduce the medium temperature and achieve the purpose of refrigeration.
How Should I Choose a Piston or Screw Compressor?
Initial Cost Vs Operating Costs
Budgeting for a compressor shouldn't only include how much you pay for your compressor upfront; you also need to consider how much you'll pay for your compressor in the long run (i.e. your overall operating costs). As much as 70-75% of a compressor's lifetime operating costs are spent on energy usage, so keep that in mind when selecting a compressor technology. Pistons have a lower initial cost than screws, but screws cost much less to operate over time.
Energy Efficiency
If both a piston and a screw were running the same amount of hours, the screw compressor will be much more efficient and have lower operating costs than the piston over the lifetime of the compressor. When selecting a technology, ask yourself: Is the initial or lifetime cost more important to you and your business?
Duty Cycle. Because piston compressors are limited in their duty cycles, they're ideal for applications with low duty cycle requirements and low daily running hours. Screw compressors, however, have long duty cycles. In fact, screws are engineered to run 100%, all day, every day!
Service Intervals
There are more moving parts in a piston compressor than in a screw, which results in increased machine wear and tear. Screw compressors don't have as much wear; hence, they have reduced maintenance needs. But keep in mind that it's important to keep any type of compressor on a consistent maintenance schedule! This will help ensure machine efficiency and optimal system performance.
Noise Levels
Piston compressors are loud – especially in comparison to screw technology. If you're looking for a lower-noise machine or a low noise level is required, you may want to consider a screw compressor.
How to Changing Your Pump Oil for air compressor
Air compressor spring cleaning
Keep your compressor running smoothly and efficiently with a new batch of oil, completely removing and replacing the oil in your unit. Here are some tips on how to do that:
● Turn your air compressor off and unplug it, or otherwise remove it from the power source.
● Consult the owner's manual for recommended fluid type and required amount.
● Let it rest for quite a while — the pump head and surrounding metal can become extremely hot during use.
● Check that the surface you're working on is flat and level.
● Remove your fill cap and/or plug.
● Place a container underneath the oil drain cap, and make sure it's large enough to hold more oil than your unit holds.
● Remove the oil drain cap — if you have to twist, it'll be counter-clockwise — and let the oil drain out of your unit.
● Replace the oil drain cap and tighten it as securely as you can. We recommend you use plumbers' tape to help create a proper seal.
● Fill your crankcase with the right amount of oil, which is usually denoted on the unit. Typically, you won't want to exceed the halfway point of the sight glass, because oil expands with heat and you're working with cool, dense oil right now.
● This can also be a good time to check and change your separator element. This element prevents excessive oil from getting into the system, and it should be replaced roughly every 1,000 work hours.
What is a Reciprocating or Piston Compressor Used for?
Piston compressors are suitable for small compressed air requirements. One-stage compressors produce pressures up to about 8 bar, while several stage versions produce up to 15 bar.
Operation should be intermittent. An air-cooled piston compressor's load level should not exceed 60-70%. After 2 minutes of compression, the compressor must rest for at least 1.5 minutes. We recommend keeping the total compression time per day to approximately 4 hours.
Piston or reciprocating compressors are mostly used in these types of industrial settings:
●Gas processing
●Chemical industries
●Oil plants and refineries
●Refrigeration technology
However, due to the wide variety of reciprocating compressors, they are used in almost every work setting. Although they have more maintenance requirements, they are very energy-efficient.
Although piston compressors are available in lots of different configurations in smaller industries, they are most commonly used in:
●Auto repair shops
●DIY-settings
●Workshops
