2. Air compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_compressor

   Air compressor supplies air into a nail gun.. An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It is an application of a gas compressor and a pneumatic device that converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses.

3. Gas turbine engine compressors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine_engine_compressors

   As the name suggests, gas turbine engine compressors provide the compression part of the gas turbine engine thermodynamic cycle. There are three basic categories of gas turbine engine compressor: axial compressor, centrifugal compressor and mixed flow compressor. A fourth, unusual, type is the free-piston gas generator, which combines the ...

4. 1176 Peak Limiter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1176_Peak_Limiter

   Inputs. 1. Outputs. 1. The 1176 Peak Limiter is a dynamic range compressor designed by the American engineer Bill Putnam and introduced by UREI in 1967. Derived from the 175 and 176 tube compressors, it marked the transition from vacuum tubes to solid-state technology. [1]

5. Linear compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_compressor

   A linear compressor is a gas compressor where the piston moves along a linear track to minimize friction and reduce energy loss during conversion of motion. This technology has been successfully used in cryogenic applications which must be oil-less. The suspension spring can be flexure type or coil type. An oil-free valved linear compressor ...

6. Compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

   A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor. Many compressors can be staged, that is, the gas is compressed several times in steps or stages, to increase discharge pressure.

7. Scroll compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll_compressor

   Scroll compressor. A scroll compressor (also called spiral compressor, scroll pump and scroll vacuum pump) is a device for compressing air or refrigerant. [1] It is used in air conditioning equipment, as an automobile supercharger (where it is known as a scroll-type supercharger) and as a vacuum pump. Many residential central heat pump and air ...
