Reciprocating air compressors are positive displacement machines, meaning that they increase the pressure of the air by reducing its volume.
This means they are taking in successive volumes of air which is confined within a closed space and elevating this air to a higher pressure.
The reciprocating air compressor accomplishes this by a piston within a cylinder as the compressing and displacing element.
