In association with GHH Rand OEM Solutions
As you may have noticed, Gardner Denver and Ingersoll Rand Industrial Technologies merged in March. For Tamrotor, this doesn’t cause any changes: We will have the same people and our factory will stay in Tampere.
What are the basic reciprocating compressor components?
Many models of stationary reciprocating compressors (piston driven) have similar components. Basic reciprocating compressor components include the compressor pump, motor, air inlet and filter, belt wheel, belt guard, pressure switch, unloader tube, safety relief valves, intercooler tube, pressure gauge, discharge tube, air receiver tank, discharge ball valve, and drain valve.

What Is an Air End And Who Is It For?
Air ends are needed by compressor and compressed air system manufacturers. There are several different kinds of technologies to produce pressured air, for example reciprocating (=piston), membrane, vane, z-screw, liquid-ring, and turbo –compressors.
What is the recommended wire gauge for service power on a small reciprocating compressor (7-15 HP)?
The electrical wiring between the power supply and electric motor varies according to motor horsepower and other factors. Install adequately sized power leads to protect against excessive voltage drop during start-up. Refer to the National Electric Code (NEC) for information on selecting proper wire size and securing electrical connections.
How Compressed Air Piping Can Put the Pinch on Your System Efficiency
For companies that need to add compressed air piping for an expansion or new production equipment, designing the piping structure is critical to overall system efficiency and reliability. While most designers look at variable-speed drive (VSD) compressors or controls to enhance system efficiency, piping remains an important contributor to system optimization. Piping makeovers can contribut...
