Horizontal gas compressor with free lifting piston

A reciprocating gas horizontal compressor with a free lifting piston, the compressor including a crankcase, a crankshaft, a cross head, a distance piece, a cylinder, a piston rod, an oil wiper case, an auxiliary gas case, a main gas case, suction valves and discharge valves,

• wherein the piston has some straight ends and some inclined compression chambers (m) and (k) which make, together with zone (n) from a first inclined cylinder head element and zone (p) from a second inclined cylinder head element, two inclined gas compression chambers in the cylinder, one at each end of the cylinder for gas compression, wherein free lifting of the piston along the length of the stroke is by direct action of the pressure on the inclined surfaces of the piston head, and
• the compressor is provided with permanent magnets fixed to a lower part of the piston on two or more rows, and permanent magnets fixed in the cylinder under a cylinder liner, the permanent magnets under the liner creating a magnetic field opposed to a field created by the permanent magnets on the lower part of the piston that produces simultaneous free lifting and sliding effects on the piston, without friction or with low friction over the entire length of the stroke,
• wherein the piston is equipped with two guiding bushings with inclined faces mounted on the piston rod, so that the inclined faces of the bushings form part of the inclined compression chambers (m) and (k), and together with inclined zones (n) and (p) of the first and second inclined cylinder head elements fixed to the first and second respective cylinder heads, make the two gas compression chambers that allow free lifting of the piston within the limit of the clearances at the end of the stroke opposite to zones (n) and (p) from the first and second respective cylinder heads.
