Reciprocating compressors are positive displacement in machines. However, separable compressors have higher maintenance costs.
Rotary compressor differs from reciprocating compressor in that it. Has no. Piston. Crankshaft. Connecting rod. Uses rotor instead of piston.
The advantages of the reciprocating compressors is that it is easier to install and is very simple to install. The disadvantage of the reciprocating compressor is the high cost of maintaining it because of the many moving parts.
screw is low maintenance than reciprocating reciprocating is more saving for power supply the compressors in screw is semehermatic but in reciprocating is open
Snubber is Pulsation damper that is installed on suction and discharge of compressors. It provides a continuous stream on reciprocating compressors.
Compressor surge only occur in centrifugal compressors. reciprocating compressor don't as they increase pressure by volume reduction, unlike centrifugal compressors where they increase pressure by converting kinetic energy to potential energy (pressure).
A type of reciprocating/positive displacement compressor in which the gas is compressed using a piston cylinder that is connected to a crankshaft. As a result of the flywheel rotation, the crankshaft moves the piston causing it to compress the air. The most common application for such type of compressors are the internal combustion engines

Your reciprocating compressors have to be the booster compressors (if running on low temp system)feeding its discharge to the suction of the screw(not directly)(if running on medium temp.

Rotary screw compressors are used in many industrial compressed air systems due to the high volume they produce in comparison to reciprocating compressors. Rotary screws take up much less space, require no heavy flywheels, and need less maintenance than the recip. compressors. Oil free compressed air can be produced by large rotary screw compressors designed as such, while reciprocating compressors can do this only on a smaller scale due to the need for cylinder lubrication in the larger models.
Reciprocating air compressors, are less popular in residential cooling systems because they are noisier than a Rotary unit plus the Rotary will cool better.....
The Reciprocating compressors is the type of compressor that is preferred with refrigerant R-113.
A type of reciprocating/positive displacement compressor in which the gas is compressed using a piston cylinder that is connected to a crankshaft. As a result of the flywheel rotation, the crankshaft moves the piston causing it to compress the air. The most common application for such type of compressors are the internal combustion engines
there are many more than 2. centrifugal, roots, lysholm, eccentric vane,etc.
Reciprocating compressors are either single- or double-acting. In single-acting machines the compression takes place on only one side of the piston; double-acting machines use both sides of the cylinder for compression.
