  2. Compressed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

    Cooling the air as it leaves the compressor will take most of the moisture out before it gets into the piping. Aftercooler, storage tanks, etc. can help the compressed air cool to 104 °F; two-thirds of the water then turns to liquid. [16] Management of the excessive moisture is a requirement of a compressed air distribution system.

  3. 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.

  4. Compressor stall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_stall

    Axi-symmetric stall, more commonly known as compressor surge; or pressure surge, is a complete breakdown in compression resulting in a reversal of flow and the violent expulsion of previously compressed air out through the engine intake, due to the compressor's inability to continue working against the already-compressed air behind it. The ...

    Pneumatic tube – Compressed air or vacuum transport system; Reciprocating compressor – Device used to pump gases at high pressure (piston compressor) Roots blower – A positive displacement lobe pump (a lobe-type compressor) Slip factor – Measure of the fluid slip in the impeller of a compressor or a turbine; Trompe – Water-powered air ...

  6. Compressed air dryer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_dryer

    The compression of air raises its temperature and concentrates atmospheric contaminants, primarily water vapor, as resulting in air with elevated temperature and 100% relative humidity. As the compressed air cools down, water vapor condenses into the tank(s), pipes, hoses and tools connected downstream from the compressor which may be damaging.

  7. Cold shrinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_shrinking

    Cold shrinking is mostly done by use of a dolly hammer. [2] The resulting rough surface is filled using a body filler or a body solder for a smoother finish. [3] Cold shrinking is a method of panel beating where heating is not done to the stretched panel. This method is mostly suitable for integral cars with integral body panels such as ...

  8. Cascade filling system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_filling_system

    The cascade system allows small cylinders to be filled without a compressor. In addition, a cascade system is useful as a reservoir to allow a low-capacity compressor to meet the demand of filling several small cylinders in close succession, with longer intermediate periods during which the storage cylinders can be recharged.

    A heat exchanger is the part of the system that transfers heat from the hot parts of the machine or a system to the cold parts of the machine or system. heat gain heat load heat loss Terms for the amount of cooling (heat gain) or heating (heat loss) needed to maintain desired temperatures and humidifies in controlled air.
