    Joy Compressor. Joy Compressors were first introduced in 1955 when the Joy Manufacturing Company hired four engineers and set them up in an office over a hardware store in Western New York. Within a short period of time, a farmer's field in Cheektowaga, New York was purchased for a test site. The early years were spent in R&D with the ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Compressed-air energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_energy_storage

    References. Compressed-air energy storage. Appearance. 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.
