Air Compressors
Air compressors raise the pressure of air using displacement or dynamic compression. Piston, screw, scroll and centrifugal technologies serve different flow and pressure duties.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Air Compressor is a device that converts power (usually from an electric motor, a diesel engine or a gasoline engine) into kinetic energy by compressing and pressurizing air. The energy in the compressed air can be stored while the air remains pressurized. The energy can be used for a variety of applications, usually by utilizing the kinetic energy of the air as it is depressurized.
The plant demand profile, pressure losses and required air quality determine the installation. Receiver storage smooths short peaks; dryers and filters address different contaminants rather than creating additional compressed-air capacity.
What turns activity into demand
A plant buys usable air at its process boundary. Leaks, pressure losses and treatment affect that result without changing compressor count. Distinguish compressor units, packages, receivers and distribution systems. Free-air delivery and compressed volume require stated reference conditions.
The commercial boundary
Distinguish compressor units, packages, receivers and distribution systems. Free-air delivery and compressed volume require stated reference conditions.
