Secondly, the study of mounting of the compressor on the vehicle is also a parallel informant, it
aware us about the design parameters such as vibration acting on compressor due to engine
reciprocation or chassis mounting. (Fig. 2.3) shows the compressor position on a truck.
For our study, we used 6 Asian market compressor and 6 European market compressors

2.2.3 Piston Assembly
2.2.1 Cylinder Head Assembly
Cylinder head assembly provides the inlet and outlet of the air for the compression. It
also provides room for air cooling. Cylinder head assembly intakes a very low-pressure air say
(1 bar) and then pass this air to the cylinder block through the inlet reed valve. The inlet reeds
are designed to ensure one-way flow for the incoming air and restrict the loss of pressure during
