Difference between Reciprocating Compressor and Rotary Compressor

Difference between Reciprocating Compressor and Rotary Compressor:

Reciprocating Compressor:

• Reciprocating Compressor works under low air compression type.
• Reciprocating Compressor has strong lubrication system.
• Air supplied to the system is not pure.
• This type of compressor required an additional proper balancing system.
• This type of Compressor required more maintenance.
• This type of compressor is useful for high-pressure functions.
• Reciprocating Compressor is More Efficient.
• Pressure delivery is high.
• Installation cost is more.
• In Reciprocating Compressor Air supply is not stable.

Rotary Compressor:

• Rotary Compression system works under high air compression type.
• Rotary Compression has low lubrication system.
• Air supplied to the system is pure.
• In Rotary Compressor there is a proper balancing system.
• This type of compressor required less maintenance.
• This type of Compressor is useful for low-pressure functions.
• Rotary Compressor is Less Efficient
• Pressure delivery of Rotary Compressor is lower than Reciprocating compressor.
• Installation cost is less compared to Reciprocating compressor.
• In Rotary Compressor Air supply is Stable.
