Main technical data
Cylinder
All the cylinders comprise upper plate, diaphragms, and cylinder body etc. The diaphragms are clamped between the cylinder cover and cylinder body. The cylinder cover and cylinder body each has a concave recess hollowed out in their contacting faces. The gas cylinder is formed between cylinder cover concave recess and diaphragms. Both suction valve and discharge valve are fitted on the upper plate. Among of them, the discharge valve is located on the center of the upper plate. The evenly located small oil holes are on the cylinder body to deliver the oil pressure inside the oil cylinder to the bottom of diaphragms (each diaphragm compressor’s cylinder has 3 piece diaphragm.)
Pressure Regulating Valve
The oil pressure of oil cylinder is regulated by the tension of the valve spring.In case the oil pressure is higher than the regulated value, turn the regulating bolt counter-clockwise to loosen the spring tension, but turn the regulating bolt clockwise to tighten the spring, when the oil pressure is lower than the regulated value. When the oil pressure meets the required value, the regulating bolt must be locked with a lock-nut. The oil pressure of the oil cylinder shall always be higher than the discharge pressure by 15~20%. But the oil and gas differential pressure shall not be lower than 0.3MPa or higher than 1.5MPa.
Cooler
The cooler structure is the double-wall pipe type. The circular space between the outer and inner pipe is the cooling water passage and the inner pipe is the gas passage. Normally the water inlet port is at the lower side and the water outlet port is at the upper side. The flow direction of cooling water and gas is on the contrary.
Oil Pressure Measuring Device
The measuring device of oil cylinder discharge pressure consists of shock-proof pressure gauge, check valve and unloading valve. The case of the pressure gauge is totally airproof and filled with damping liquid. The inner devices of gauge is immersed in the liquid, which makes the pressure gauge hands stable through the function of the viscosity of damping liquid. The unloading valve is fitted under the gauge to discharge the remained air in the oil pipeline and to unload the oil pressure gauge. Also the check valve connecting with oil cylinder through pipeline is fitted under the unloading valve.
Oil pipes
Oil pipes consist of lube oil pipe and oil pressure secure system.
The lubrication for the driving device adopts gear oil pump circulation pressure lubricating. The lube oil stored in the frame oil tank enters into the gear oil pump after being filtered and is pressed into the oil holes in the crankshaft through the gear oil pump to lubricate the crankshaft friction surface. At the same time, part of the lube oil reaches the crosshead pin and crosshead along the oil holes in the connecting rod to lubricate the friction surface. The oil pressure of gear oil pump shall be kept between 0.3~0.5Mpa, and the bearings at the 2 ends of crankshaft is splash lubricated.
Oil pressure secure system consists of oil compensating pipe, pressure-measuring pipe and oil return pipe. The oil output from the oil compensating pump will supplement oil for compressor cylinders through the oil compensating pipe and the excess oil returns to the crankcase through the pressure-regulating valve.

How does an air compressor work?
An air compressor works by using mechanical energy to compress and pressurize air, which is then stored and used for various applications. Here’s a detailed explanation of how an air compressor operates:
1. Air Intake: The air compressor draws in ambient air through an intake valve or filter. The air may pass through a series of filters to remove contaminants such as dust, dirt, and moisture, ensuring the compressed air is clean and suitable for its intended use.
2. Compression: The intake air enters a compression chamber, typically consisting of one or more pistons or a rotating screw mechanism. As the piston moves or the screw rotates, the volume of the compression chamber decreases, causing the air to be compressed. This compression process increases the pressure and reduces the volume of the air.
3. Pressure Build-Up: The compressed air is discharged into a storage tank or receiver where it is held at a high pressure. The tank allows the compressed air to be stored for later use and helps to maintain a consistent supply of compressed air, even during periods of high demand.
4. Pressure Regulation: Air compressors often have a pressure regulator that controls the output pressure of the compressed air. This allows the user to adjust the pressure according to the requirements of the specific application. The pressure regulator ensures that the compressed air is delivered at the desired pressure level.
5. Release and Use: When compressed air is needed, it is released from the storage tank or receiver through an outlet valve or connection. The compressed air can then be directed to the desired application, such as pneumatic tools, air-operated machinery, or other pneumatic systems.
6. Continued Operation: The air compressor continues to operate as long as there is a demand for compressed air. When the pressure in the storage tank drops below a certain level, the compressor automatically starts again to replenish the compressed air supply.
Additionally, air compressors may include various components such as pressure gauges, safety valves, lubrication systems, and cooling mechanisms to ensure efficient and reliable operation.
In summary, an air compressor works by drawing in air, compressing it to increase its pressure, storing the compressed air, regulating the output pressure, and releasing it for use in various applications. This process allows for the generation of a continuous supply of compressed air for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and personal uses.
