Definitions

  • the invention relates to a reciprocating compressor with one or more pistons.
  • the piston compressor according to the invention has one or more pistons.
  • the piston compressor has at least two pistons driven by a common crankshaft, wherein a first piston is designed as a one-piece piston and a second piston as a multi-part piston according to the fol lowing description.
  • the one-piece piston is preferably formed in one piece and has a piston skirt and a piston crown made of aluminum, while the second piston vorzua mecanic a piston skirt made of aluminum and a piston crown made of steel. Since preferably the first piston has a larger diameter than the second piston, a mass balance can be achieved in this way, so that the second piston has substantially the same weight as the first piston.
  • At least one piston is designed as a multi-part piston.
  • the piston is composed of at least a first and second part.
  • the first part is a piston skirt and the second part is a piston crown.
  • these two parts are made of different materials.
  • the piston crown it is possible for the piston crown to choose a material with a greater density in order to be able to form a smaller piston correspondingly heavier and thus to provide mass balance when a plurality of pistons are driven by a common crankshaft.
  • the piston skirt can be selected in its material so that it is in terms of its thermal
  • the piston crown is made of a material of greater density than the piston skirt.
  • the piston crown When the piston crown is formed of a higher density material, it becomes heavier and results in a higher weight of the piston, so that the weight of a smaller piston can be increased to substantially equal to the weight of a larger piston made of a material is made with a lower density corresponds, and so a mass balance between the piston can be achieved.
  • the piston skirt is particularly preferably made of aluminum and the piston crown is made of steel.
  • the design of the piston skirt made of aluminum is particularly useful when the cylinder is made of aluminum.
  • the sealing rings between the piston and the cylinder serving piston rings are preferably in the region of the piston head, that is arranged on the outer circumference of the piston crown. In this area, the piston rings can compensate for dimensional changes due to differential thermal expansion between cylinder and piston crown.
  • the piston crown is made of gray cast iron, for example or made of stainless steel, especially stainless steel, so that it has a good corrosion resistance.
  • the first and the second part are particularly preferably screwed together. You can do this.
  • Screws are used, which extend parallel to the piston longitudinal axis through the wall of the piston head and engage in threaded holes in the piston crown.
  • Fig. 1 shows the basic structure of a reciprocating compressor, wherein the piston compressor shown here is formed in two stages with two cylinders 2 and 4.
  • the pistons arranged in the cylinders are driven by an electric motor 6 via a common crankshaft.
  • B. an internal combustion engine come Enficient.
  • the cylinder 2 forms a first stage of the reciprocating compressor and the compressed gas in cylinder 2 is fed via an intercooler 8 to the cylinder 4 of the second stage.
  • the cylinder 4 of the second stage is smaller than the cylinder 2, that is, it has a smaller internal displacement in the interior, since the gas entering the cylinder 4 already in the first stage, ie in the cylinder 2 was compressed.
  • the second stage piston 10 has a smaller diameter than the first stage piston.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 now show the structure of the piston 10, as it is used in the second stage in the second cylinder 4.
  • the piston arranged in the first cylinder 2 may be conventionally made in one piece from aluminum.
  • the piston 10 is formed in two parts and has a piston skirt 12, which forms the first part, and a piston head 14, which forms the second part.
  • the piston skirt 12 is made of aluminum and the piston crown 14 z. B. of gray cast iron or steel, especially stainless steel.
  • In the piston skirt 12 of the piston pin 18 is arranged for connection to a push rod or a connecting rod.
  • the piston skirt 12 and the piston crown 14 are connected to one another via four screws 20, the screws 20 extend through bores 22 in the piston skirt 12 parallel to the longitudinal axis or movement axis X of the piston 12. The screws 20 then engage with threaded holes 24 in threaded holes the piston head 14 a. The screws 20 thus extend over the entire axial length of the piston skirt 12 and fix this fixed to the piston head 14. By screwing an easy assembly of the piston is possible. In the embodiment shown, four screws 20 are distributed over the circumference of the piston skirt, but it is understood that less or more screws 20 could be used here.
