	Need some information on: 1) Piston Ring & Rider Ring: Purpose in non-lubricated cylinder of compressor. 2) How to decide the no of these rings on piston & its location. 3) What if a single ring is used instead of these multiple rings.

	Piston ring to prevent gas leaking past piston. Rider ring to separate piston from cylinder liner. Depends - double acting, single acting, pressure ratio, materials etc etc More leakage. __________________ I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. Albert E
