Description

V-shaped compressors are a type of reciprocating compressors in which the different cylinders of a compressor are displaced by 90 degrees to form a v shape which might be connected to two different pins on the crankshaft, and concentric valves are mounted on each cylinder head unit. These two sets of valves take care of air intake and exhaust. The intake valve accepts successive volume of air and confines it in closed surface which moves the piston downwards. Meanwhile, the intake valve is closed and the volume of the air is reduced from upward motion of piston which compresses air and displaces compressed air through exhaust valve. The major benefit of the V-shaped alignment is to provide better torque and balancing, to the compressor system. These factors help in curbing the inability of the compressor system to start or halt after some time, thereby reducing the complexity of maintenance. Since the system contains very fast moving internal rotors, any intake of outside object may prove fatal for the product and, therefore should be avoided.

Market Dynamics

The primary driver of the V-Shaped Compressors market is the cost-effectiveness of these compressors over others and thereby increasing demand. Furthermore, because of V-shaped alignment of cylinders, V-shaped compressors boast simpler maintenance over others, which in turn, may drive the market growth. However, currently, V Shaped compressors have more cons than pros. The primary deterrent to the market is the high noise factor associated with these compressors. Furthermore, market growth can also be inhibited due to high outlet temperature experienced by these compressors. Due to these factors, the efficiency of the compressor is also lower as compared to other designs. Furthermore, the market also faces challenges concerning internal heat management as these high-pressure compressors require cooling and high outlet temperature signifies weak mitigation of internal heat. Another challenge faced by the market is of high oil content in oil piping. However, the major opportunity that market can build upon is the capability of V-shaped compressors to sustain in high-pressure conditions.
