INTRODUCTION

• The TAC4 is a reciprocating type compressor, which uses three cylinders with their own connecting rod, crank shaft, pistons and chain sprockets and it is driven by a chain drive.

• The common compression head will be in triangular shape with an angle of 120º from each other.

• For every rotations of the crank each piston will move simultaneously from ODC to IDC and IDC to ODC.
