Answer / karthick
a reciprocating compressor is used to deliver air with high
pressure and in small quantity.it uses movement of piston
to craete vaccum inside the cylinder.whereas centrifugal
compressor uses blowers or fans to create vaccum and is
used to deliver air with low pressure and in large quantity

A centrifugal compressor compresses gas by rotating vanes or blades, sort of like a turbine. A reciprocating compressor uses pistons and cylinders to compress gas, sort of like the engine in your car.

A reciprocating compressor is a compressor that uses
pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high
pressure and Centrifugal compressor includes pumps, fans,
blowers

Answer / manoj dogra
Reciprocating compressor deliver gas with high pressure and mass of flow rate small due to reciprocation motion.it is used for less mass flow rate.etc mostly used pneumatic air.
Centrifugal compressor deliver gas with low pressure and mass flow rate high due to centifugal mation.it is used for high mass flow rate.etc mostly used in turbine.

reciprocating compresser is a variable flow & variable presser. but centrifugal compresser is a fixed flow and fixed presser.
Is This Answer Correct ? | 7 Yes | 6 No |
Answer / esar ul kazim
Reciptocating compressor produce high pressure than centrifugal compressor But reciprocating compressor can handle small amount of gases and centrifugal can handle large amount of gases than reciprocating compressor

Hello there, Im a Mechanical Engineer. I passed out in 2010 and have worked for 6 months in the Middle East as a Trainee Engineer. Im now in India and due to appear for an Interview for a firm in the Middle East. The post is of an Automobile Engineer. Im kinda nervous as to what to prepare for the interview. The training which I got was in different areas ranging from technical to managerial aspects. What I mean to say is that that was more of a crash training, where I couldn't stick to one section alone. The interview which Im attending is more of a technical one. What I would like to know, how and what I should be preparing? I have two weeks for the preparation. Should I go through the normal automobile aspects or everything in random. PS: I have excellent communication skills, the one area in which I'm very confident.
