Most of the compressors you'll run across do this job with a reciprocating piston. Like a small internal combustion engine, a conventional piston compressor has a crankshaft, a connecting rod and ...

In a related study, the transient flow and heat transfer characteristics of a hydraulic-driven piston hydrogen compressor were investigated using a three-dimensional numerical model.

The objective of this paper is to present the results of an investigation of elastic distortions of split piston rings that are used in lubricated and non-lubricated air brake compressors. Concepts of ...
