<p>The reciprocating piston compressor, especially for the charging of an internal combustion engine, comprises a piston reciprocating inside a cylinder, a working chamber (10,12) on either side of the piston and with inlet and exhaust openings incorporating inlet (20,22) and exhaust (24,26) valves, and a housing enclosing the cylinder and provided with a suction port (34) and a delivery port (36). The space between the cylinder and the housing is divided by a partition (28,30) in such a way that the suction port is connected to the inlet openings and the delivery port is connected to the exhaust openings. A drive device is provided for the reciprocating movement of the piston whereby with a movement stroke of the piston the inlet valve of one working chamber opens and that of the other working chamber closes, and the exhaust valve of one chamber closes and that of the other opens.</p> |
