🔍 Key Concepts

• Construction and operation of reciprocating air compressor valves (reed/plate/spring-loaded, automatically actuated by pressure difference) • Effect of cylinder clearance volume on compressor efficiency and capacity • Whether low-pressure compressor valves normally use mechanical (cam/pushrod) actuation or automatic (pressure-operated) actuation

💭 Think About

• Think about how suction and discharge valves in a typical low-pressure reciprocating air compressor actually open and close during the stroke. Are they pushed by a cam, or moved by pressure difference? • Consider what happens to trapped air in the clearance space at the end of the discharge stroke. Would a larger or smaller clearance space be more desirable for compressor performance? • Ask yourself: if one valve needed mechanical gear to operate, would it be only the suction, only the discharge, or neither in a standard low-pressure design?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how automatic plate/reed compressor valves are normally actuated in low-pressure service (pressure vs. mechanical linkage). • Check how clearance volume affects volumetric efficiency: does more clearance generally help or hurt the compressor’s ability to take in a full charge of fresh air? • Confirm whether both suction and discharge valves share the same basic automatic-operating principle in ordinary low-pressure air compressors.
