+ reciprocating compressor is a positi/e disp#acement compressor that uses
pistons dri/en 0y a crankshaft to de#i/er gases at high pressure.
The intake gas enters the suction manifo#d1 then f#ows into the compression
cy#inder where it gets compressed 0y a piston dri/en in a reciprocating motion /ia
a crankshaft1 and is then discharged. +pp#ications inc#ude oi# refineries1 gas
pipe#ines and refrigeration p#ants. The app#ication is the 0#owing of p#astic 0ott#es
made of po#yethy#ene terephth#ate 2%(T3.
)n the ionic #i4uid piston compressor many sea#s and 0earings were remo/ed in the
design as the ionic #i4uid does not mi5 with the gas. .er/ice #ife is a0out 10 times
#onger than a regu#ar diaphragm compressor with reduced maintenance during use1
energy costs are reduced 0y as much as 206. The heat e5changers that are used in
a norma# piston compressor are remo/ed as the heat is remo/ed in the cy#inder
itse#f where it is generated. +#most 1006 of the energy going into the process is
0eing used with #itt#e energy wasted as reject heat.

Centrifugal compressors1 sometimes termed radial compressors1 are a su0:c#ass
of dynamic a5isymmetric work:a0sor0ing tur0omachinery.

The idea#i;ed compressi/e dynamic tur0o:machine achie/es a pressure rise 0y
adding kinetic energy</e#ocity to a continuous f#ow of f#uid through the rotor
orimpe##er. This kinetic energy is then con/erted to an increase in potentia#
energy<static pressure 0y s#owing the f#ow through a diffuser. The pressure rise in
impe##er is in most cases a#most e4ua# to the rise in the diffuser section.
Scroll Compressors:
The scro## compressor comprises of two inter#ea/ed scro##s of which one is fi5ed
and the other or0its eccentrica##y without rotating. During its motion sma## gaps are
created 0etween the scro##s where the refrigerant gets compressed. The scro##s can
ha/e different shapes #ike in/o#ute1 +rchimedean spira# or hy0rid cur/e. )n another
arrangement 0oth the scro##s may 0e rotating eccentrica##y to produce the
compression.
Rotary Compressors:
The rotary compressors ha/e two rotating e#ements1 #ike gears1 0etween which the
refrigerant is compressed. These compressors can pump the refrigerant to #ower or
moderate condensing pressures. .ince they can hand#e sma## /o#ume of the gas and
produce #esser pressure1 they are used in fewer app#ications.
