Abstract : The present day concept of automation has increased the use of compressed air in every field of industrial life. An attempt has been made to design double acting air compressor with an intention to provide the operating pressure required for pneumatic tools within less time taken by single acting compressor to generate the same pressure of 9 kg/cm2 at 925 rpm of compressor for piston displacement of 21.4 cfm. B asic component of double acting reciprocating air compressor are designed.
The
modeling, and analysis of double acting reciprocating air compressor were done by using CATIAV5R10 software.
Theoretically, all the components are found to work within safe stress limits..
Key Word : D ouble Acting R eciprocating C ompressor, Stress Analysis, Material Properties, CATIAV5R10, Failure Mode.

1. INTRODUCTION
Compressed air is used in Air refrigeration, cooling of large building for cleaning purposes, blast furnaces, bore wells, spray painting, in super charging IC engines and gas turbines, starting of IC engines, fuel atomizers, compressed air is widely used in braking system of automobiles, railway coaches, wagons etc. and the list is endless where the compressed air is used.
In fact today, we find it is extensively used in all fields of application due to Wide availability of fresh air.
Compressibility, Easy transportability of compressed air in pressure vessel, containers and long pipes., Fire – proof characteristics of the medium. High degree of controllability of pressure. The detail study of different types of compressor is very much essential. The current study is focused at the study of double acting reciprocating compressors. The advantage of double
