Piston Compressors

Features

Piston Compressors: Efficient and Reliable Air Compression

Piston compressors, or reciprocating compressors, are widely used for their ability to provide efficient air compression in various industrial applications. They feature a crankshaft-driven piston and cylinder to compress air effectively, making them ideal for industries such as oil refining, gas processing, and refrigeration.

Single-Stage vs. Two-Stage Piston Compressors

Single-Stage Piston Compressors:

This compressor compresses air in one stroke up to 120 PSI, then sends the air to a storage tank. This type is ideal for moderate pressure applications, ensuring a steady flow of air for various tasks.

Two-Stage Piston Compressors:

These compressors provide higher air pressure, up to 175 PSI. First, the air undergoes initial compression, and then a second compression stage follows. These compressors are perfect for applications requiring higher pressure and greater efficiency.

Excellence

A Proud Legacy of Excellence/strong>

The modern-day Quincy QR-25 traces its roots to the 1930s when it was introduced as a member of what was simply known as “the Quincy Line.” A portable QR-25 version was introduced during the 1950s and was used to provide heated compressed air to keep lenses clear on military equipment. The first four-cylinder QR-25 was unveiled during the 1960s and the Coast Guard began using the QR-25 as part of its tug boat starting procedures in the 1970s.
