a comressor in whisch gas is compresed in only one stage.
Intercoolers lower the temperature of air going from one stage of a compressor to another, it increases the efficiency as the air becomes more dense. As the recieving stage is compressing cooler air as result, there is less heat produced in the succeding stage. If the intercooler has a large surface area, the temperature can approach ambient temperatures, and moisture my drop out, requiring a method for it's removal; if not a slug of water could damage the recieving stage. Efficiency increases can be had >15%
If we consider the longitudinal cross section of the single stage of CFC disc, then the plane containing the impeller blade section with hub & shroud is known as the Meridional Plane.
The balancing line is a transmission line consisting of two conductors of the same type, that are grounded to the compressor's circuits and to the ground and helps keep external noise down.
It can't run too long. So long as it is adequately lubricated, cooled, and the pressure does not exceed it's relief valve or cutoff switch if it gets too hot, you'll destroy the internal seals, requiring a teardown. no lube, and you'll simply destroy it.
compressor is two stage and the 1st stage has gone out and the compressor needs to be replaced.
Yes a two stage Piston Compressor will be much economical than a single stage screw compressor.
A stage air compressor is a heavy duty compressor that increases the amount of air is a tight, confined space. It uses two cylinders and two pistons; one piston pumps air from the first cylinder into the second cylinder, creating air pressure. This pressure is used to provide power for industrial, commercial, and personal uses. You can find a picture and detailed diagram of a stage air compressor at www.ecompressedair.com.
Several. Oil less , Turbine, Oiled Piston , single stage, two stage,etc,
The centrifugal flow compressor has a single or two stage unit using an impeller. The axial flow compressor is a multi-stage unit using alternate rows of rotating (rotor) blades and stationary (stator) vanes.
To complete your ultimate garage workshop you purchased an air compressor to complete your power tool collection. But where do you put it? What kind of air compressor you have will determine where to place this important piece of machinery. If you purchased a single-stage portable compressor, these are easy to carry or have wheels that allow you to roll it around anywhere in your garage. Many are small enough that you could place them in a baseboard cabinet or under a large workbench so that it is out of your way until you need it. Most portable compressors run off of a standard 120 volt outlet, so you can plug it in anywhere in your work space. But what if you have a larger two-stage air compressor? Because they aren't portable, these beasts need to be as close to a power outlet as possible. In addition, two-stage compressors have much more horsepower than a portable one, and you need to make sure your you're running the compressor through a 220 volt outlet. And while a portable air compressor can be wheeled anywhere out of the way, a two-stage compressor needs a permanent home where it you won't have to work around it. Placing your compressor in the middle of two workbenches may not be the most ideal spot. Instead, place the air compressor in a corner that has a convenient outlet. You can also make your own little closet for your compressor. Just build your enclosure to fit both the compressor and you comfortably. However, if you want to enclose a two-stage air compressor, remember to have adequate ventilation. Since it can not be moved like a portable compressor, it needs to have one or two vents to allow the compressor to take in air and dissipate heat. Whether you decide to get a portable or a two-stage air compressor, be sure you have a place to store it. Giving the compressor a dedicated home will keep it out of the way so that it does not get damaged while you work. When it is kept clean and well maintained, your air compressor will provide you with many years of faithful service.
The ratio of clearance volume and the volume of the compressor
a single stage compressor only compresses once while a double stage will take the volume from the first stage and compress it more. Makes more pressure but less volume
The major difference between a 2-stage heat pump and single stage is the run time on 1st stage, especially for the a/c. On 1st stage, the compressor can put out 1/2 to 2/3 of its rated capacity and is more efficient producing btu's than when running full out on 2nd stage. The more the system runs on 1st stage, the lower the operating costs

a comressor in whisch gas is compresed in only one stage.
There are several kinds of compressors--reciprocating, screw, centrifugal. We'll use a reciprocating compressor in this example. It's got a piston moving back and forth in a cylinder to compress the air. (It's like a car engine, and you can get a kit to turn an old Volkswagen engine into a compressor.) This assembly is called a stage. The cheapest compressors are single-stage units--they have one piston and cylinder. The air from the atmosphere is sucked into the assembly, compressed then sent to the tank. Next come two-stage compressors, which have a low-pressure stage and a high-pressure stage. The air from the first stage is compressed again by the second stage, which gives more pressure with less stress on the unit. It's easier on the compressor to take air from 2 atmospheres to 4 than it is to go from 1 atmosphere to 4. A three-stage compressor takes this doubly compressed air and compresses it again, and a four-stage compressor has a fourth compression step. Most of the people who buy three-stage compressors fill diving tanks with them--you need to be able to make 5000 psi to fill a diving tank, and three-stage compressors are good for that.
