Welcome to Parth Compressor Blog. Now in this Blog, we are going to have a look at the question “What are the Difference between a Single Stage and a Two Stage Compressor?”
Two Stage Air Compressor
In a two-stage air compressor, the process of sucking and compressing air is identical to that of a single stage, however in the former, the compressed air undergoes a second stage of compression. This indicates that after the initial compression, the compressed air is not discharged to a storage tank.
- A two-stage unit can construct 10 PSI extra at twice the CFM. Three times the horsepower for semi the price of a single-stage compressor.
A tiny piston in the second cylinder applies a second round of compression to the already compressed air. As a result, the air is double-pressurized, producing double the energy. After the second compression stage, the air is released into the storage tank where it can be used in a variety of ways.
Single Stage Air Compressor
Air is compressed using a single revolving helical screw element in a single stage using a single-stage rotary screw compressor. An electric motor powers the screw component.
Given that it produces a fixed volume each revolution, the single-stage rotary screw compressor can be compared in some ways to a positive displacement motor. The swept volume refers to this fixed volume for each rotor (compressed volume). It is the volume that the gas will occupy when the rotor moves back to step 1.
When there is sufficient air drawn into the chamber, the bay valves close, signalling the driving rod to revolve and force the cylinders up, compressing the air while also forcing it to the leave valves. When needed, the compressed air (about 120 psi) is then discharged into the capacity tank.
