Assessment of the Prospects of Development of Medium-Pressure Single-Stage Piston Compressor Units

Abstract

Theoretical and experimental studies of the working processes of slow-speed long-stroke piston compressor stages were performed. The obtained results indicate the possibility of compression of gases in such stages to medium pressures. The investigated stages, as the studies showed, had improved vibration and noise characteristics in comparison with the existing piston stages and can be one of the directions for improving piston compressor units.
