<p>A compressor includes a pair of opposed pistons 42, 44 disposed in a housing 41 and defining a compression chamber 43. An electromagnetic actuator 20 reciprocatedly drives the pistons 42, 44 within the housing in cooperation with force accumulator. The force accumulators bank the force during a first reciprocation, decelerating the pistons 42, 44, and apply the force in a subsequent reciprocation, thereby accelerating the pistons. In one embodiment, two electromagnetic actuators drive the compression pistons. In another embodiment, a single electromagnetic actuator drives the compression pistons. A system and method of operation are disclosed.</p> |
