Reciprocating compressor
Thread Content
In a opposed reciprocating compressor, if the outlet pressures on both sides are not identical – that is, if gas is delivered to sections under different pressures on each side – it is considered a combined compressor. What are the structural differences between such a compressor and a regular compressor that delivers gas to the same section?
The principle is the same as that of ordinary compressors; it can be understood as two compressors operating under different conditions sharing a set of common compressor components. There are too many differences; to put it simply, aside from the basics, everything else can be different.
There’s no difference; different pressures are equivalent to evacuating air in between
