Comparison between Reciprocating Compressor and Rotary Compressor

Hi guys in this article we try to learn the topic Comparison between Reciprocating Compressor and Rotary Compressor it is done on basis of speed, compressor pressure, lubrication system, size maintenance, cost and other factors also. Because many types of compressors are designed and used according to pressure and rate f flow requirement. So without wasting of time let's discuss detail information, 

Comparison between Reciprocating Compressor and Rotary Compressor

Comparison between Reciprocating Compressor and Rotary Compressor

In reciprocating compressors are positive displacement device. These are mostly used compressors. In this reciprocating action in piston, and obtaining high pressure ratio.

In rotary compressors in which air is entrapped in both sets of engaging surface and air pressure is increased by squeezing action. And in rotary compressors rotary action is used for compression of fluid. These compressors are capable for running at high speed.  

Sr.no.	Reciprocating Compressor	Rotary Compressor
1	Size of compressor is large as compared to rotary compressor.	Size of compressor is small.
2	Air compressor speed is low.	Air compressor speed is high.
3	More leakage problems are occurred.	As compared with other compressors less leakage problems.
4	Balancing is main problem.	In this no balancing problem.
5	More vibration are occurred.	Less vibrations are occurred.
6	Air compressor speed is low.	Air compressor speed is high.
7	Cost of this compressors is more.	Cost of this compressors is less.
8	Lubrication is complicated.	Lubrication system is simple.
9	Reciprocating compressor is suitable for high pressures.	Rotary compressors are suitable for low pressure.
10	Higher maintenance.	Lower maintenance.
11	Less fuel consumption.	High fuel consumption.
12	In this more moving parts.	In this less number of moving parts.

So in this article we learned all the information about the topic Comparison between Reciprocating Compressor and Rotary Compressor Hope you connect well.
