    5 Stage Reciprocating Compressor

    A 5-stage reciprocating compressor compresses air in 5 cylinders of decreasing diameter. The air is cooled between stages to close to ambient temperature. For maximum efficiency with perfect intercooling and no pressure drops: 1) the work is equal at each stage, 2) pressure ratios between stages are equal, 3) intercooler temperatures are the original intake temperature. The total work equals the work per stage multiplied by the number of stages.

    5 Stage Reciprocating

    Compressor
    John Phillip A. Queliope
    :Reporter
     A reciprocating compressor or piston
    compressor is a positive-displacement
    compressr that uses pistons driven by
    a crankshaft to deliver gases at high
    pressure.

    Reciprocating Compressor
     A multi-stage compressor is one in which there are
    several cylinders of different diameters. The intake of
    air in the first stage gets compressed and then it is
    passed over a cooler to achieve a temperature very
    close to ambient air. This cooled air is passed to the
    intermediate stage where it is again getting
    compressed and heated. This air is again passed over
    a cooler to achieve a temperature as close to ambient
    as possible. Then this compressed air is passed to the
    final or the third stage of the air compressor where it
    is compressed to the required pressure and delivered
    to the air receiver after cooling sufficiently in an
    after-cooler.

    Working principle
    For multistage compression with minimum work and perfect inter-
    cooling and no pressure drop that occurs in the inter-coolers between
    stages, the following conditions apply:

    1. the work at each stage are equal

    2. the pressure ratio between stages are equal

    3. the air temperature in the inter-


    coolers are cooled to the original
    temperature T1
    Work will be equal to:

    Where “s” is equal to the number of


    stages

    Intercooler pressure

    Where:
    Pi = initial suction pressure
    Pf = final or discharge
    pressure
    Note: For multistage compressor with pressure drop in the
    intercoolers. The work equation will be equal to the sum of the
    work for each stages that is computed separately.
