How compressors work?

The compressor is driven directly by an electric motor, which causes the crankshaft to rotate and the connecting rod to reciprocate the piston, causing the cylinder volume to change.


Working Principle

Used in air compressor It is mainly used to regulate the starting and stopping state of air compressor, through adjusting the pressure in the storage tank to let the air compressor stop and rest, which has the effect of maintenance on the machine. During the commissioning of the air compressor factory, the pressure is adjusted to the specified pressure according to the customer's needs, and then a pressure difference is set. For example, the compressor starts, pumping air into the storage tank, when the pressure is 10kg, the compressor stops or unloads, and when the pressure reaches 7kg, the compressor starts again, there is a pressure difference in between, and this process allows the compressor to take a break, which achieves the role of protecting the compressor.

The compressor is driven directly by an electric motor, which causes the crankshaft to rotate and the connecting rod to reciprocate the piston, causing the cylinder volume to change. Due to changes in cylinder pressure, through the inlet valve so that the air through the air filter (muffler) into the cylinder, in the compression stroke, due to the reduction of cylinder volume, the compressed air through the role of the exhaust valve, through the exhaust pipe, the check valve (check valve) into the tank, when the exhaust pressure reaches the rated pressure of 0.7MPa by the pressure switch to control and automatic shutdown. When the pressure of gas storage tank drops to 0.5-0.6MPa, the pressure switch is automatically connected to start.
