Air compressor is a device used to compress gas. An air compressor is similar in construction to a water pump. Most air compressors are reciprocating piston, rotary vane or rotary screw. Centrifugal compressors are very large applications.
Main applications:
a 、Traditional air power: wind-powered tools, rock drills, picks, pneumatic wrenches, pneumatic sandblasting.
b 、Instrumentation control and automation devices, such as machining centers tool change.
c , vehicle brakes, doors and windows open and close.
d , air jet looms with compressed air blowing the weft in place of the shuttle.
e, food, pharmaceutical industry, the use of compressed air to mix the slurry.
f, large marine diesel engine start.
g, wind tunnel experiments, underground tunnel ventilation, metal smelting.
h, oil well fracturing.
i, high-pressure air blasting coal mining.
j , weapons systems, missile launch, torpedo launch.
k , submarine sinking, wreck salvage, submarine oil exploration, hovercraft.
Expanded:
There are many types of air compressors (air compressors).
1, according to the principle of operation can be divided into three main categories: volumetric, power (speed or turbine type), thermal type compressor.
2, according to the lubrication can be divided into oil-free air compressor and oil lubricated air compressor.
3, according to performance can be divided into: low noise, frequency conversion, explosion-proof air compressor.
4, according to the use can be divided into: refrigerator compressor, air conditioning compressor, refrigeration compressor, oil field compressor, natural gas refueling station, rock drills, wind tools, vehicle brakes, windows and doors open and close the use of textile machinery, tire inflatable compressor, compressor plastic machinery, mining compressor, marine compressor, medical compressor, sandblasting and painting.
5, according to the type can be divided into: fixed, mobile, closed.
