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. Compressed-air energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_energy_storage

   Compressed-air energy storage. A pressurized air tank used to start a diesel generator set in Paris Metro. Compressed-air-energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. [1]

4. Compressed air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

   Compressed air is air kept under a pressure that is greater than atmospheric pressure. Compressed air in vehicle tyres and shock absorbers is commonly used for improved traction and reduced vibration. Compressed air is an important medium for transfer of energy in industrial processes, and is used for power tools such as air hammers, drills ...

5. Scroll compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 conditioning ...

6. 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 ...

7. Axial compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_compressor

   An axial compressor is a gas compressor that can continuously pressurize gases. It is a rotating, airfoil -based compressor in which the gas or working fluid principally flows parallel to the axis of rotation, or axially. This differs from other rotating compressors such as centrifugal compressor, axi-centrifugal compressors and mixed-flow ...
