What is a pump?

  • Pump is a device which moves fluid
    from one place to another place.
  • There are two types of pump-

  • Centrifugal pump & Positive displacement pump

  • Centrifugal pump k discharge valve ko km ya jyada Kiya ja skta 
  • Positive displacement pump k discharge valve ko km nhi KR skte
  • Centrifugal pump ko start krte time discharge valve ko bnd bhi Kiya ja skta h 

  • PDP ko start Krne se phle yh dhyan rkhna jruri h ki discharge valve closed nhi hona chahiye ,closed hone pr discharge line leakage ho skti h

Air compressors function based on a very simple principle. When the air is compressed, its volume decreases whereas the pressure increases. The most common way to achieve this is with the help of a reciprocating piston. There are compressors which employ rotating impellers for the purpose of creating air pressure, but I will discuss the different types in a separate article. Those which are built around a reciprocating piston are more common, and if you’re familiar with how internal combustion engines work, you will know piston compressors function in a similar manner. Each reciprocating piston compressor has a crankshaft, connecting rod, a piston, cylinder, and a valve head. In order for the entire mechanism to work, you need power. Air compressors are usually powered by electricity or gas depending on the model. Most compressors also have a tank which is there to store compressed air for the purpose of keeping the air pressure within a set range while powering various air tools. But, let’s get back to the mechanics of it (I used an image of a liquid reciprocating piston pump to explain this (source: NVC), but with air this works basically the same) reciprocating piston At the top of every compressor cylinder there is a valve head that contains both the inlet and discharge valve which are basically metal flaps. These open and close and are located on top of the valve plate. When the piston moves down inside the cylinder in the space above the piston a vacuum is created. Now, here’s the clever bit. The difference in pressure on the inside of the cylinder to the outside allows the atmospheric pressure to open the inlet valve. The air then enters the area where the vacuum used to be, and is compressed by the piston which is now going up. The inlet valve closes and the discharge valve is opened. The compressed air is stored inside the tank thereby increasing the pressure
