Air Compressor

Model a reciprocating air compressor with load state, thermal lubrication response, runtime health, and fault behavior for industrial scenarios.

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

Member	Why it matters
`running`	Motor state driven by `run_command`.
`header_pressure`	Receiver pressure — cycles between load and unload setpoints.
`discharge_flow`	Mass flow delivered while loaded.
`motor_current`	Load-correlated current draw.
`discharge_temperature`	Thermal response to compression work.
`oil_temperature` / `oil_pressure`	Lubrication-side health.
`vibration`	Mechanical condition indicator.
`load_cycles`	Cumulative duty counter — drives wear.
`runtime_hours`	Lifetime 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

Parameter	Default	Unit
`rated_cfm`	100	CFM
`rated_pressure`	10	bar
`load_pressure`	8	bar
`unload_pressure`	10	bar
`motor_power_kw`	30	kW

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.
