What are air compressors?
  • Air compressors are mechanical devices
  • They compress air in chambers
  • The compressed air is transformed into kinetic
    energy
  • The kinetic energy is used to drive pneumatic
    drills, spray painters etc.

What are The Types?
  • There are 4 types of air compressors
  • Reciprocating or piston compressors
  • Rotary sliding vane compressors
  • Rotary screw compressors
  • Centrifugal compressors

Reciprocating or piston compressors
  • These are the most common types
  • The gas is compressed by driving the piston in a
    reciprocal way
  • The gas goes into a pressurized cylinder
  • Later the gas is released through valves

Rotary screw compressors
  • They use two rotors one male one female
  • The air enters the chamber and is trapped in the
    chamber
  • The male female rotors compress the air
  • The compressed air is pushed away and makes way
    for fresh air

Rotary sliding vane compressors
  • Consists of one rotor placed inside a water
    jacketed cylinder
  • 8-12 blades are attached to the rotor
  • The air is forced against the wall
  • The air is thus compressed and afterwards released

Centrifugal compressors
  • They are called as radial compressors
  • They consist of pumps, fans blowers
  • They can create pressures of 8000-10000 psi
