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. The compressed air isn t sent to a storage tank. Rotary screw compressors can be run at lower temperatures and for 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

Read understand and retain all instructions before operating this equipment to prevent injury or equipment damage. Despite this diversity all fs curtis two stage compressor configurations work off the same basic cycle. The air enters the first stage a low pressure chamber where it is compressed the first time. So for industrial applications a multi stage compressor will save space.

Thus we have seen the actual operation of an air compressor and its theoretical p v diagram. 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. As air is compressed its temperature increases. For a diy or contracting project a single stage air compressor may be lighter and more portable.

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.
