Air Compressor

Reciprocating air compressor with load state, thermal lubrication response, and fault health.

What it is

A reciprocating (piston) air compressor with a load-unload pressure band, cycling behaviour, oil-side thermal response, and discharge-flow tracking. Shapes realistic compressed-air supply dynamics — pressure hunting, duty cycling, oil temperature drift under load.

Used in

  • smart-factory — utilities area, lead and lag compressors
  • water-treatment — aeration and instrument air
  • backup-power — start-air compressor

What it tracks

MemberWhy it matters
runningMotor state driven by run_command.
header_pressureReceiver pressure — cycles between load and unload setpoints.
discharge_flowMass flow delivered while loaded.
motor_currentLoad-correlated current draw.
discharge_temperatureThermal response to compression work.
oil_temperature / oil_pressureLubrication-side health.
vibrationMechanical condition indicator.
load_cyclesCumulative duty counter — drives wear.
runtime_hoursLifetime counter.

Fault modes

  • valve_leak — discharge pressure droop, flow loss, increased duty.
  • bearing_wear — vibration rise with load.
  • oil_degradation — oil temperature climb and pressure decay.

Key parameters

rated_cfm100CFM

motor_power_kw30kW

Use cases

  • Modelling compressed-air supply for downstream pneumatic loads.
  • Duty-standby behaviour with a second compressor.
  • Cascade fault scenarios — compressor fault causes pneumatic clamping loss on a press or valve.
