What is the difference in working principles between reciprocating compressors and piston pumps?

Apart from the fact that the medium used for transport is either gas or liquid, it seems like everything else is the same. What do you think: handshake
You are absolutely right; the working principle is the same
Yes, the principle is the same; they are both volume types
The principle is the same. Pumps are used for conveying, while compressors compress gases before conveying them. That’s roughly what it means. .
Since the principle is the same, why can one only be used to spray liquids while the other can only be used to spray gases? What is the fundamental reason for this?
There is a check valve at the outlet of the reciprocating compressor
