🔍 Key Concepts

• Piston design and how side thrust (side pressure) is transmitted to cylinder walls • Differences between trunk, differential, valve-in-head, and barrel pistons in compressors and engines • Why low-pressure air compressors might favor a design that spreads bearing and side loads

💭 Think About

• Think about which piston type has a long skirt or extended bearing surface that can contact more of the cylinder wall area. • Consider which designs are mainly about valve placement or pressure staging, rather than about changing how side forces are distributed. • Ask yourself: in a low-pressure compressor, what is the simplest, most common piston style that can handle side thrust without needing a separate crosshead?"

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which piston types are mainly engine-related valve arrangements (not about side pressure distribution). • Focus on which design provides a large contact area between piston and cylinder liner to spread side loads. • Eliminate any option that is primarily about multi-stage or differential pressures rather than mechanical side-loading.
