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

Difference between single acting and double acting reciprocating air compressor?

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.

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).
