What are the common air compressors?

Air compressor as compressed air to provide power equipment, for our production and life provides a lot of convenience. Of course, there are many types of air compressors, how much do you know? Today, let's take a look at the different types of air compressors and their respective characteristics!

According to different classification standards, air compressors can be divided into different types. According to its working principle and structure, we can divide it into five categories: piston air compressor, sliding vane air compressor, centrifugal air compressor, screw air compressor and scroll air compressor;

if it is divided according to its working pressure, it can be divided into three categories: low-pressure air compressor, medium-pressure air compressor and high-pressure air compressor; if it is related to lubricating oil during its working process, it can also be divided into: oil air compressor, Micro-oil air compressor and oil-free air compressor;

according to the moving mode of the air compressor, we can also divide it into fixed air compressor and mobile air compressor. Of course, the mobile air compressor is also divided into electric mobile air compressor and diesel mobile air compressor.

Next, according to the principle of work, we will introduce to you what are the characteristics of several common types of air compressors:

1. Piston air compressor

piston-type air compressors use piston-type work to achieve air compression. The advantage is that the price is cheap and the cost of use in the working process is less.

2. Sliding type air compressor

the overall structure of the sliding vane air compressor is very simple, eliminating the trouble of constantly repairing parts. At the same time, its manufacturing cost is not high, the cost input used is relatively small, and it can meet the output of a relatively large amount of gas.

3. Screw air compressor

screw air compressor generally includes single screw air compressor and twin screw air compressor. This type of air compressor is highly efficient and consumes less energy, so it is welcomed by the market.
