a reciprocating compressor is used to deliver air with high
pressure and in small quantity.it uses movement of piston
to craete vaccum inside the cylinder.whereas centrifugal
compressor uses blowers or fans to create vaccum and is
used to deliver air with low pressure and in large quantity

Answer / pankaj

Reciprocating compressors develop high pressure but flow is less. Centrifugal compressor develop high flow but low in pressure terms.

Answer / a.rajaguru

reciprocating compressor compress the refrigerant with the
help of pistons, centrifugal compressor compress the
refrigerant with the help of impller.

Answer / majid

reciprocating compressor is a positive displacement device
which build pressure against Resistance and centrifugal
compressor make pressure due to centrifugal force

Answer / santosh kumar singh

Answer / srinivas

A reciprocating compressor is a compressor that uses
pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high
pressure and Centrifugal compressor includes pumps, fans,
blowers

Answer / manoj dogra

Reciprocating compressor deliver gas with high pressure and mass of flow rate small due to reciprocation motion.it is used for less mass flow rate.etc mostly used pneumatic air.
Centrifugal compressor deliver gas with low pressure and mass flow rate high due to centifugal mation.it is used for high mass flow rate.etc mostly used in turbine.

Answer / esar ul kazim

Reciptocating compressor produce high pressure than centrifugal compressor But reciprocating compressor can handle small amount of gases and centrifugal can handle large amount of gases than reciprocating compressor
