Compressor:


A compressor is a mechanical device
that increases the pressure of a gas or
Air by reducing its volume.
TYPES
Centrifugal compressors:


Centrifugal compressors use a
rotating disk or impeller in a shaped
housing to force the gas to the rim of the
impeller, increasing the velocity of the
gas.
Axial-flow compressors:
Axial flow dynamic compressors
are dynamic rotating compressors that use
arrays of fan-like airfoils to progressively
compress the working fluid. They are used
where there is a requirement for a high
flow rate or a compact design.
Reciprocating compressors
Reciprocating compressors use pistons
driven by a crankshaft and crankshaft can
be driven by electric motors or internal
combustion engines.
Single reciprocating
Diaphragm compressors
A diaphragm compressor (also
known as a membrane compressor) is a
conventional reciprocating compressor. The
compression of gas occurs by the movement
of a flexible membrane instead of an intake
element.
Rotary screw compressors
Rotary screw compressors
use two meshed rotating positivedisplacement helical screws to
force the gas into a smaller space
Rotary vane compressors
A rotary vane pump is a positivedisplacement pump that consists of vanes
mounted to a rotor that rotates inside of a
cavity.
Scroll compressors:
A scroll compressor, also known as
scroll pump uses two interleaved spiral-like
vanes to pump or compress fluids such
as liquids and gases They operate more
smoothly, quietly, and reliably than other
types of compressors .
