At kronung.ro you will find the widest range of piston compressors, coaxial or belt-driven, with power ratings from 0.55
hp up to 20 hp for oil-lubricated compressors, and up to 2.2 hp for oil-free piston compressors.

An air compressor is a piece of equipment used to increase the pressure of a gas (in this case, air) contained within a compressed air cylinder by reducing its volume. The compressor compresses the air from an initial inlet pressure – atmospheric pressure – to a higher discharge pressure.

The main technical and functional characteristics of a piston air compressor are the discharge pressure and the flow rate. The ratio between the final pressure and the initial pressure of the compressed gas is called the compression ratio. If this ratio is less than 3, the term ‘compressor’ is not used; instead, the term ‘blower’ is used.

To compress the gas, the piston air compressor operates according to a reverse thermodynamic cycle (generator cycle), consuming mechanical work. Piston air compressors are power-generating machines, driven by an electric motor, an internal combustion engine, or a gas turbine, either via direct coupling or through a mechanical transmission, with the engine supplying the mechanical energy required for operation.
