A multistage reciprocating air compressor is a compressor that compresses air in a number of stages. A multi-stage reciprocating air compressor may contain 2 or many cylinders, like low pressure, medium pressure and high pressure cylinders.
A screw air compressor generates greater volumes of air more quickly than that of a conventional air compressor .
Reciprocating compressor
A rotary compressor is like a car engine, with pistons, rods, sleeves, valves, etc. A screw compressor has two screw type rotating parts that squeeze the refrigerant as the screw threads get tighter and tighter. They have long life potential.
The scroll compressor is one that has spirals rotating into each other. The screw compressor is where two spirals are rotating in opposite directions.
Any Air Compressor has to be maintained from time to time. If schedule maintenance are done then the wear and tear are very minimal. They are user friendly and they are efficient due to staging besides they also produce more Air pressure which are required for many other applications. Reciprocating compressor also very useful and reliable for compressing and pumping liquids. It also most prominently used in oil refineries, chemical plants, pipelines and natural gas processing plants.

A reciprocating compressor is one in which a piston or diaphragm moves in a reciprocating motion. The compressor used in the AC system of a Saturn is NOT a reciprocating compressor. It is most likely a "rotary vane" compressor.
As the piston moves up and down, it pushes air at increasing pressure into a cylinder.
A rotary compressor has screws or gears that compress a gas. A reciprocating compressor has a piston in a cylinder compressing the gas.

Stroke volume and swept volume are same in any reciprocating engine/compressor.

To provide moisture free compressed air to a pneumatic system that operates pneumatic motors.
Reciprocating compressors are positive displacement in machines. However, separable compressors have higher maintenance costs.
