Rotary screw compressors can be run at lower temperatures and for 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
Two stage air compressor diagram.
For a diy or contracting project a single stage air compressor may be lighter and more portable.
As air is compressed its temperature increases.
In my next article we will discuss the work done by and reasons for using multi stage air compressors.
Two stage two cylinder air compressors units featuring the r10 r15 pumps this manual contains important safety information and should always be available to those personnel operating this unit.
Air is drawn into the compressor through the air intake and filter assembly.
The compressed air at the pressure p2 volume v2 and temperature t2 is delivered out of the compressor to the air receiver.
The process within a two stage compressor alternately referred to as a dual stage compressor is similar to that of a single stage but with one variation.
When it comes to larger air compressors a two stage compressor will have a higher output than a single stage compressor of the same size.
The air enters the first stage a low pressure chamber where it is compressed the first time.
It s instead sent to a smaller piston for a second stroke this time at roughly 175 psi.
Thus we have seen the actual operation of an air compressor and its theoretical p v diagram.
Read understand and retain all instructions before operating this equipment to prevent injury or equipment damage.
So for industrial applications a multi stage compressor will save space.
