There are plenty ways to compress gas, and in recent years a lot of different kinds of compressors have been invented to do just that. Their inventive designs allow a process to pressurize atmospheric air and there are 3 common ways of doing it. The 3 most general air compressors are the reciprocating, rotary screw and centrifugal.
Reciprocating Air Compressors
Reciprocating air compressors are thought of as positive displacement devices, meaning they increase the pressure of the air by decreasing its volume. Basically, the compressor takes in successive volumes of air which is limited into a closed area and increasing the air to a high pressure. A piston inside the cylinder helps carry out this feat. These kinds of air compressors are available as “air cooled” or “water cooled” in lubricated or non-lubricated layouts and are also provided in a number of various pressures and capacities.
Rotary Screw Compressors
Another kind of air compressor is the rotary screw compressor that are positive displacement compressors. The more typical rotary screw compressors are the single-stage helical or spiral-lobe oil inundated screw air compressors. These kinds of air compressor comprise of 2 rotors in a casing, with the rotors compressing the air within. These types are oil-cooled, in which the oil seals the inner clearances and without valves.
Centrifugal Air Compressors
Dissimilar to the other 2 types, centrifugal air compressor are an active compressor that is based on the transferring of energy from a rotating wheel to the air. These compressors are designed for higher capacity since flow through the compressor is continual. These compressors are free of oil and the oil-lubed running-gear is separate from the air by shaft-seals and atmospherical venting.
Air Compressor Maintenance
Since air compressors require routine maintenance and periodic repair, preventative maintenance needs be done to have them working at maximum efficiency. We provide air compressor repair and preventative maintenance programs.
