Compressors

Compressors are mechanical devices used to increase pressure in a variety of compressible fluids, or gases, the most common of these being air. Compressors are used throughout industry to provide shop or instrument air; to power air tools, paint sprayers, and abrasive blast equipment; to phase shift refrigerants for air conditioning and refrigeration; to propel gas through pipelines; etc.

 

Compressors may be characterised in several different ways, but are commonly divided into types based on the functional method used to generate the compressed air or gas. These types include:

  • Piston
  • Diaphragm
  • Helical Screw
  • Sliding vane
  • Scroll
  • Rotary Lobe
  • Centrifugal
  • Axial
