A compressor includes a cylinder block having a first bore and a cylinder head overlapping the cylinder block. The cylinder head has a second bore aligned with the first bore. The second bore is separated into a plurality of distinct regions including a suction region and an economizer region. A plurality of valves includes a suction valve selectively operable to fluidly couple the suction region and the first bore, and an economizer valve selectively operable to fluidly couple the economizer region and the first bore.

A multistage compressor is disclosed that may include a wobbling member operationally coupled with an external power source. The external power source may drive a nutating motion of the wobbling member. The multistage compressor may further include a plurality of flexible chambers connected to the wobbling member, each flexible chamber including a respective intake passage and a respective discharge passage. The wobbling member may sequentially press down and pull up the plurality of flexible chambers. The multistage compressor may further include a one-way valve in each respective intake passage and gas may be drawn into each flexible chamber through the respective one-way valve of each flexible chamber as the wobbling member pulls up each flexible chamber. The gas may then be compressed to a higher pressure as the wobbling member presses down each flexible chamber and compressed gas may be discharged through the respective discharge passage of each flexible chamber.

A variable stroke high pressure pump is disclosed. The pump uses a wobble plate design with dynamically variable tilt to provide continuous adjustment of pump stroke length and output. Dynamically variable tilt is accomplished using a linearly actuated tilt thruster rotationally coupled to the drive shaft to maintain a selected tilt of the wobble plate through the rotation of the wobble plate.

A high-pressure pump includes a pump cover, an air cylinder, a piston, a water cooling device, and a pump seat. The air cylinder is formed by a first air cylinder, a second air cylinder and a third air cylinder whose diameters are progressively reduced and that are coaxially disposed. The piston is also formed by a first piston, a second piston and a third piston whose diameters are progressively reduced and that are respectively disposed in the first air cylinder, the second air cylinder and the third air cylinder. A water cooling device is disposed between the second air cylinder and the third air cylinder.

A natural gas compressor can include a pre-staging chamber that couples with a supply line to receive natural gas from the supply line. The compressor can additionally include a first-stage chamber that couples with the supply line to receive natural gas from the supply line. The first-stage chamber can additionally be coupled with the pre-staging chamber to receive from the pre-staging chamber natural gas that has been compressed by the pre-staging chamber. The compressor can also include a second-stage chamber configured to receive natural gas that has been compressed by the first-stage chamber.
