The air compressor is a one-cylinder, single-stage, reciprocating air compressor. The air compressor consists of three major subassemblies:
• | The cylinder head |
• | The cylinder body |
• | The crankcase |
The cylinder head houses the inlet and the discharge valving. The cylinder body contains the cylinder bore and the piston. The crankcase is a one-piece casting. The crankcase houses the crankshaft and the bearings.
