Oil and Gas Compressor
Oil and gas compressor is a specialized piece of equipment designed to compress oil and natural gas, enhancing the safety and efficiency of their transport and storage. It is extensively used throughout the exploration, processing, transportation, and storage stages of oil and gas operations, making it an essential component of the industry.
The key components of an oil and gas compressor include the cylinder, piston, connecting rod, and crankshaft.
- Main Body of the Compressor
The core of the compressor consists of the driver, cylinder, piston, and exhaust valve. This assembly is crucial for accomplishing the compression process.
- Driver Mechanism
The driver serves as the power source for the compressor, typically comprising an electric motor and crankcase. It drives the rotation necessary for the compression cycle.
- Cylinder and Piston Functionality
The cylinder and piston are the primary components responsible for gas compression. The piston reciprocates within the cylinder, drawing in gas and compressing it before expulsion.
