Two Stage Air Compressor Diagram

Two stage two cylinder air compressors units featuring the r10 r15 pumps this manual contains important safety information and should always be available to those personnel operating this unit.

Two stage air compressor diagram.

The compressed air at the pressure p2 volume v2 and temperature t2 is delivered out of the compressor to the air receiver. In my next article we will discuss the work done by and reasons for using multi stage air compressors. Air is drawn into the compressor through the air intake and filter assembly. So for industrial applications a multi stage compressor will save space.

When it comes to larger air compressors a two stage compressor will have a higher output than a single stage compressor of the same size. A rotary screw is a compressor which utilizes two intermeshing helical rotors to trap a volume of air then compress it to a higher pressure. The compressed air isn t sent to a storage tank. Thus we have seen the actual operation of an air compressor and its theoretical p v diagram.

The process within a two stage compressor alternately referred to as a dual stage compressor is similar to that of a single stage but with one variation. Despite this diversity all fs curtis two stage compressor configurations work off the same basic cycle. As air is compressed its temperature increases. It s instead sent to a smaller piston for a second stroke this time at roughly 175 psi.

The air enters the first stage a low pressure chamber where it is compressed the first time.
