Reciprocating compressors have a design similar to a combustion engine and can contain anywhere from two to six pistons housed in individual cylinders. Each of these pistons are driven by a central crankshaft. As the pistons move downward, the refrigerant is sucked into the cylinder through an inlet valve. When the piston moves back upwards, the inlet valve closes, and the volume of space in the cylinder decreases, compressing the refrigerant. Once the refrigerant is sufficiently compressed, the necessary amount of force to open a discharge valve is achieved, and the refrigerant is expelled, allowing the cycle to repeat.

Reciprocating compressors are highly scalable, allowing them to be designed to a small capacity or a high capacity of hundreds of tons. The main detractors to reciprocating compressors are that they are very loud, have a high amount of vibration, and are inefficient.
