The reciprocating compressors (known also as “piston-type” compressors) are the best compressors for any service that the capacity is relatively low and the differential pressure is relatively high.

Heat coming off air-cooled compressors is ducted through finned coils that transfer more than 350,000 BTUs per compressor per hour to preheat the hot water makeup supply. Source: Rogers Machinery.

Abstract: Fault prognostics of an air compressor is a challenging issue for condition-based maintenance of a railway vehicle. In this paper, we propose a mathematical model of a two-stage ...
