The lubricated piston compressor, a machine that operates by means of a so-called positive displacement.
What is a positive displacement?
The lubricated piston compressor operates in a manner known as positive displacement. This process corresponds to the outside air that is sucked in and then goes through a series of mechanisms that push it out.
Lubricated piston compressor, a machine that lives up to its name
The name piston compressor comes from the fact that inside the machine, the system is driven by the action of pistons which are themselves driven by a connecting rod connected to a crankshaft.
This system imitates perfectly the operation of vehicle engines. The only difference is that it uses only one piston. This technology was the first to appear in the world of compressors.
Lubricated piston compressors are ideal for achieving pressures above 14 bar
Lubricated piston compressors are the oldest technology used. Their added value is that they have the capacity to reach pressures above 14 bars. They are also very energy efficient. Beware, the efficiency of these machines can be very good, but it decreases rapidly when they are not maintained.
Benefits
The advantages of using a lubricated piston compressor
Highly efficient compressors.
Their constant airflow makes their performance higher and more reliable. This becomes an essential asset when it comes to working with tools that require a good pressure.
Increasingly high compression ratios.
This advantage gives the possibility to attach tools for jobs that require a high level of pressure.
Landfills that can be controlled.
This system allows you to more easily adjust the amount of air and pressure you need.
Machines that are easy to use.
This piston system does not require complicated installations and allows you to gain efficiency and avoid breakdowns that could cause delays. Maintenance is still fairly simple to perform. However, you should not neglect the maintenance part, which allows you to diagnose possible problems on your machine.
