In addition multistage compressors run much longer on cycles than one stage units which cycle on and off.
Multi stage air compressor animation.
Reciprocating piston compressors use a cylinder to force air into a chamber where it is compressed.
Understand the design features associated with the multi stage compressors.
The simplest compressor designs feature a single cylinder chamber arrangement.
While straightforward this setup is limited in its efficiency and capacity for delivering high volumes of pressurized air.
Also appreciate the reasons associated with lubricating oil ignition if the delivery temperature air is too high.
Multistage compression refers to the compression process completed in more than one stage i e a part of compression occurs in one cylinder and subsequently compressed air is sent to subsequent cylinders for further compression.
