Compressor

COMPRESSOR

The SANDEN compressor shown in diagram form in the cutaway view below comprises the following:

• a block (20);
• seven pistons (11) complete with corresponding connecting rod;
• a plate (13) with one-way blade type delivery and intake valve that operates automatically;
• a cylinder (15) head on which the intake and exhaust ducts are machined (17).

The reciprocating motion needed for the pistons to run in their liners is developed by the rotary motion of a tilted plate (rotor 8) on which, with the interposition of roller (18) a plate (9) rests to which the connecting rods of the pistons (11) are connected by ball joints. The plate (9) is unable to rotate and it articulates on two toothed gears (10).
