The structure of piston air-cooled air compressor mainly includes the following parts: cylinder, piston, suction valve, exhaust valve, crank-connecting rod mechanism and cooling system.
Cylinder and piston: The cylinder is a compression chamber, and the piston changes the volume through reciprocating motion to achieve gas compression. The reciprocating motion of the piston is achieved by the motor driving the crank-connecting rod mechanism.
Suction valve and exhaust valve: The suction valve opens to inhale air at low pressure, and the exhaust valve opens to exhaust gas at high pressure. When the piston moves downward, the suction valve opens and air enters the cylinder; when the piston moves upward, the gas is compressed and discharged through the exhaust valve.
Crank-connecting rod mechanism: This is the transmission mechanism of the piston air compressor, which converts the rotational motion of the motor into the reciprocating motion of the piston.
Cooling system: Usually an air-cooled system, which dissipates heat through an external fan or natural convection to prevent the equipment from overheating.
