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.

Advantages of double acting reciprocating pump?

Reciprocating pumps will deliver fluid at high pressure (High Delivery Head).They are 'Self-priming' - No need to fill the cylinders before starting.


What are Single acting reciprocating compressors?

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


What are the types of reciprocating steam engine?

Reciprocating steam engines can be categorized into several types, primarily based on their configuration and design. The main types include single-acting engines, where steam acts on one side of the piston, and double-acting engines, which use steam on both sides for more efficient power generation. Other variations include compound engines, which utilize multiple cylinders at different pressures to improve efficiency, and oscillating cylinder engines, where the cylinder pivots instead of the piston moving linearly. These designs allow for various applications in industrial and maritime settings.
