While straightforward this setup is limited in its efficiency and capacity for delivering high volumes of pressurized air.
Multi stage air compressor animation.
Multistage compression refers to the compression process completed in more than one stage i e a part of compression occurs in one cylinder and subsequently compressed air is sent to subsequent cylinders for further compression.
Also appreciate the reasons associated with lubricating oil ignition if the delivery temperature air is too high.
Understand the design features associated with the multi stage compressors.
The simplest compressor designs feature a single cylinder chamber arrangement.
A compressor operating at lower output consumes less electricity.
Reciprocating piston compressors use a cylinder to force air into a chamber where it is compressed.
