What is the advantage and disadvantage of reciprocating compressors?

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.

Snubber is Pulsation damper that is installed on suction and discharge of compressors. It provides a continuous stream on reciprocating compressors.


Can reciprocating compressor surge?

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).


What are application of rotary screw compressors?

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.


Does a reciprocating replace a scroll compressor?

Yes, a reciprocating compressor can replace a scroll compressor, but there are important considerations. Reciprocating compressors typically have a different operating range, efficiency, and noise levels compared to scroll compressors. While they can serve similar applications, factors like space, vibration, and maintenance requirements should be evaluated to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
