Heavy Duty, Work-Horse Compressors
Low-Cost Reciprocating Air Compressors
Reciprocating air compressors are often called "work-horse " compressors. Industrial reciprocating compressors are able to operate in a heavy-duty environment and have lower initial costs.
They cost less to maintain and work great for intermittent operation. They save energy in no-load conditions and operate efficiently at partial loads, which results in a higher overall efficiency for many diverse applications.
Efficient Air Compressors
The reciprocating compressor uses a piston, which moves inside a cylinder, to compress the air. When the piston moves down, air is drawn in. When the piston moves up, the air is compressed.
Two sets of valves take care of the air intake and exhaust. One-way valves (usually inside the cylinder head) make sure that the sucked-in air cannot escape and that the compressed air cannot flow back when the piston moves down again.
The reciprocating compressor type can range from small (a few HP) to medium sized. It all depends on how much air you need. Call Kompressed Air of Delaware Inc. today to find the appropriate compressor to fit your individual needs!
