  2. Piston ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_ring

    A piston ring is a metallic split ring that is attached to the outer diameter of a piston in an internal combustion engine or steam engine. The main functions of piston rings in engines are: Sealing the combustion chamber so that there is minimal loss of gases to the crank case.

  3. Reciprocating compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_compressor

    A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Pressures of up to 5,000 psig are commonly produced by multistage reciprocating compressors.

  4. Compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

    Linear compressor – Gas compressor where the piston is driven by a linear actuator; Liquid-ring compressor – Type of rotating positive-displacement pump. Hydride compressor – Hydrogen compressor based on absorption and desorption of hydrogen; Natterer compressor – Type of manually operated air compression machine

  5. Piston - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston

    A piston is a component of reciprocating engines, reciprocating pumps, gas compressors, hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders, among other similar mechanisms. It is the moving component that is contained by a cylinder and is made gas-tight by piston rings .

  6. Reciprocating engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_engine

    Ray-traced image of a piston engine. There may be one or more pistons. Each piston is inside a cylinder, into which a gas is introduced, either already under pressure (e.g. steam engine), or heated inside the cylinder either by ignition of a fuel air mixture (internal combustion engine) or by contact with a hot heat exchanger in the cylinder (Stirling engine).

  7. Diaphragm compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_compressor

    A diaphragm compressor is a variant of the classic reciprocating compressor with backup and piston rings and rod seal. The compression of gas occurs by means of a flexible membrane, instead of an intake element. The back and forth moving membrane is driven by a rod and a crankshaft mechanism.

  8. Strap wrench - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strap_wrench

    Piston-ring compressors are strap wrenches that evenly squeeze (compress) the piston rings around a piston long enough to slide it into a cylinder.They look a lot like an oil-filter wrench of the strap type (except they are a flat piece of metal that wraps around the piston).

  9. Bourke engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourke_engine

    Seal friction from the seal between the air compressor chamber and the crankcase, against the connecting rod, will reduce the efficiency. [16] Efficiency will be reduced due to pumping losses, as the air charge is compressed and expanded twice but energy is only extracted for power in one of the expansions per piston stroke. [17] [18]
