    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 dryer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_dryer

    Two-stage air compressor equipped with a JT type refrigerated compressed air dryer. Refrigerated dryers are the most common type of compressed air dryer. They remove water from the air stream by cooling the air to approximately 3 °C (38 °F) and effectively condensing out the moisture in a controlled environment.

  4. Waste compaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_compaction

    Waste compaction is the process of compacting waste, reducing it in size. Garbage compactors and waste collection vehicles compress waste so that more of it can be stored in the same space. Waste is compacted again, more thoroughly, at the landfill to conserve valuable airspace and to extend the landfill's life span.

  5. Compressed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

    After compressed air cools, then the vaporized water turns to liquefied water. [14] [15] 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]

  6. Vapor-compression evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression_evaporation

    The compressor is necessarily the core of the unit. Compressors used for this application are usually of the centrifugal type, or positive displacement units such as the Roots blowers, similar to the (much smaller) Roots type supercharger. Very large units (evaporation capacity 100 metric tons per hour or more) sometimes use Axial-flow compressors.

  7. Vacuum packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_packing

    Vacuum packing greatly reduces the bulk of non-food items. For example, clothing and bedding can be stored in bags evacuated with a domestic vacuum cleaner or a dedicated vacuum sealer. This technique is sometimes used to compact household waste, for example where a charge is made for each full bag collected.

    The revenue from the bags is collected by each district and used to offset a portion of the costs of transporting and processing its food waste. “In Seoul as a whole, bag fees pay for about 40% ...

  9. Waste converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_converter

    A waste converter is a machine used for the treatment and recycling of solid and liquid refuse material. A converter is a self-contained system capable of performing the following functions: pasteurization of organic waste; sterilization of pathogenic or biohazard waste; grinding and pulverization of refuse into unrecognizable output; trash compaction; dehydration.
