What equipment is air compressor

Air compressor, full name air compressor, is a kind of equipment used to compress gas. Air compressor and water pump structure is similar, most air compressor is reciprocating piston, rotating blade or rotating screw. Centrifugal compressors are very large applications. Its working principle is to confine a certain amount of continuous air flow to a specific space, reducing its volume, thereby increasing the pressure. The air compressor is usually driven by an electric motor. It is a device that converts the mechanical energy of the driving force (usually an electric motor or a diesel engine) into gas pressure energy. It is a pressure generating device for compressed air.

Air compressors have a wide range of uses, including traditional air power: pneumatic tools, rock drills, pneumatic picks, pneumatic wrenches, pneumatic sandblasting; instrument control and automation devices, such as tool replacement for machining centers; vehicle braking, opening and closing of doors and windows; it is also used in air jet looms to blow weft yarn with compressed air instead of shuttles; food and pharmaceutical industries, mixing slurry with compressed air; starting of large marine diesel engines; wind tunnel experiment, underground passage ventilation, metal smelting; Oil well fracturing; High-pressure air blasting coal mining; Weapon system, missile launch, torpedo launch; Submarine sinking and floating, shipwreck salvage, submarine oil exploration, hovercraft; Tire inflation; Painting; Bottle blowing machine; Air separation industry; Industrial control power (driving cylinder, pneumatic components); Production of high-pressure air for cooling and drying processed parts; Blowing cleaning; Transportation; Metal smelting; casting power; combustion control; chemical mixing; printing and dyeing; environmental protection; dredging; mining and so on.
