AIR INTAKE (LOADED)
During the piston down stroke, a vacuum is created in
the cylinder bore above the piston. The vacuum causes
the inlet reed valve to
the cylinder bore above the piston. The vacuum causes
the inlet reed valve to
fl
ex open. Atmospheric air
fl
ows
through the open inlet valve and
fi
lls the cylinder bore
above the piston.
AIR COMPRESSION (LOADED)
When the piston reaches approximately bottom dead center
(BDC), the inlet reed valve closes. Air above the piston is
trapped by the closed inlet reed valve and is compressed
as the piston begins to move toward top dead center
(TDC). When air in the cylinder bore reaches a pressure
greater than that of the system pressure, the discharge
reed valves open and air
(BDC), the inlet reed valve closes. Air above the piston is
trapped by the closed inlet reed valve and is compressed
as the piston begins to move toward top dead center
(TDC). When air in the cylinder bore reaches a pressure
greater than that of the system pressure, the discharge
reed valves open and air
fl
ows into the discharge line and
air brake system.
Air, during the compression stroke,
fl
ows into the hollow
center of the unloader piston through an opening in the end
of the piston. Compressed air acts on the interior surfaces
of the unloader piston and, along with the unloader piston
spring, holds the unloader piston against its seat on the
valve plate. See Figure 6.

of the unloader piston and, along with the unloader piston
spring, holds the unloader piston against its seat on the
valve plate. See Figure 6.
NON-COMPRESSION OF AIR (UNLOADED)
When air pressure in the supply reservoir reaches the
cut-out setting of the governor, the governor delivers
system air to the compressor unloader port. Air entering
the unloader port acts on the unloader piston, causing it
to move away from its seat on the valve plate assembly.
When the unloader piston is unseated a passage is opened
between the cylinder bore, the air inlet cavity in the cylinder
head, and the other cylinder. Air compression ceases.
