Volume is displaced with a piston that moves back and forth (reciprocates) in the cylinder bore, thus the name “reciprocating” compressor. The piston is pushed and pulled with a “piston rod”. The piston is sealed with “piston rings” to prevent gas from escaping through the clearance area between the piston and the cylinder bore. As the piston is displacing volume on one end of the cylinder, it is increasing volume on the other end. This allows gas to be drawn in and compressed on both ends of the cylinder. This cylinder is “double acting”. To better illustrate the gas compression in the cylinder, we will use the slides on the next few pages. This illustration shows a cylinder with the piston at the inner end of the cylinder. The outer end of the cylinder contains gas at inlet pressure and the frame end contains a slight amount of gas at discharge pressure. At this point, the cylinder is at its maximum volume on the outer end of the cylinder and minimum volume on the inner end. OUTER END - Compression As the piston moves toward the outer end, the volume in the cylinder is decreased. Since the inlet valve prevents flow back out of the cylinder and the pressure in the cylinder is still below the pressure in the discharge gas passage, the gas is trapped and compressed as the volume decreases. INNER END - Expansion As the piston moves away from the inner end, the volume in the cylinder increases allowing the high pressure gas that was trapped at the end of the delivery stroke to expand and reduce in pressure. OUTER END - Delivery As the volume continues to decrease with piston movement, the gas continues to increase in pressure. Once the pressure in the cylinder is slightly above the pressure in the discharge gas passage, the discharge valve opens and gas from the cylinder bore is allowed to enter the discharge gas passage through the discharge valve. INNER END - Inlet As the volume continues to increase with piston movement, the gas continues to decrease i
