Compressor piston consists of a piston reciprocating inside a cylinder to compress air. The piston is connected to a connecting rod and a crankshaft while it travels up and down within a cylinder. Valves control the air entering and discharging from the cylinder. As the piston travels down, the inlet valve opens and air is draw into the cylinder. At the bottom of the pistons travel the inlet valve closes trapping the air within the cylinder. As the piston changes its direction and returns to the top of the cylinder it starts to compress the air. At the top of its stroke, the exhaust valve opens and allows the compressed air to exit the cylinder.
Compressor Regulator includes a pressure sensor connected to the refrigerant reclaiming system for sensing the pressure within the flow of refrigerant after it exits the compressor and a feedback line to an adjustable inlet valve for adjusting the volume of the flow of refrigerant in response to excessive pressure readings from the pressure sensors. A device fitted to the compressor to control the output of the machine.
Shim is a thin and often tapered or wedged piece of material, used to fill small gaps or spaces between objects. Shims are typically used in order to support, adjust for better fit or provide a level surface. Shims may also be used as spacers to fill gaps between parts subject to wear. Shims in compressor are mainly used for adjusting the clearance between the compressor pulley drive plate and the pulley. This clearance is achieved by removing the shims or installing the shims between the inner end of the pulley hub and the compressor shaft present in the compressor.
Compressor Silencer is an absorptive type silencer, designed for the short acoustic wave lengths produced by centrifugal and axial compressors. Each silencer is custom engineered using a computer program.
