The compressor is directly driven by the motor to rotate the crankshaft, drive the connecting rod to make the piston reciprocate, and change the volume of the cylinder. Due to the change in pressure in the cylinder, air enters the cylinder through the intake valve and through the air filter. During the compression stroke, compressed air passes through the exhaust valve and through the exhaust pipe due to the reduction in cylinder volume. The directional valve (check valve) enters the air storage tank, and when the exhaust pressure reaches the rated pressure of 0.7MPa, it will be automatically closed under the control of the pressure switch. When the pressure of the gas storage tank drops to 0.5-0.6MPa, the pressure switch is automatically turned on.
The air compressor is the core equipment of the pneumatic system. It is the main body of the electromechanical bleed air source device. It is a device that converts the mechanical energy of a prime mover (usually an electric motor or a diesel engine) into gas pressure energy. It is a compression device.
