Deminski, R M

A high-pressure gas transmission compressor is described for admitting gas at a suction inlet and discharging gas at increased pressure from a discharge outlet comprising: a block-like compressor housing having a substantially horizontal elongated smooth bore cylindrical cylinder extending longitudinally therethrough; cylindrical piston slidably received for reciprocating movement within the cylinder; a pair of vertically extending spaced valve housings positioned on each side of the cylinder and formed within the compressor housing, each of the valve housings enclosing a vertically oriented hollow elongated valve chamber positioned so that the upper and lower ends of each of the chambers extend above and below, respectively, the cylinder, the valve chambers being parallel to each other such that the center line of the cylinder is perpendicular to and non-intersecting with the center lines of the valve chambers; spaced openings extending through the side walls of the cylinder; and a gas passageway connecting each of the openings with one of the valve chambers.
