Reciprocating Compressors – Vol 3 Issue 3
A reciprocating compressor is a positive displacement machine that compresses a gas through the reciprocating action of a piston and delivers it at high pressure. Rugged and efficient, these machines have the widest pressure range among compressors. Reciprocating compressors are most commonly used for transmission of natural gas through pipelines and for supplying high-pressure gas […]
