  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. Husky VMMD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husky_VMMD

    Husky 2G is a two-seat variant of Husky MK III vehicle mounted mine detector (VMMD) designed and manufactured by South African firm DCD Protected Mobility (DCD PM). Equipped with a number of sensors , the vehicle is ideally suited for mine-clearing operations including detection, identification and destruction of improvised explosive devices ...

  4. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

    While fully developed compressor surge is axisymmetric, its initial phase is not necessarily axisymmetric. Actually, severe damage of compressor surge is often related to very large transverse loads on blades and casing in its initial transient. [7] A chain reaction of compressor surge is the flameout of a jet engine. Due to a lack of air ...

  5. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    Low pressure (40–70 psi or 280–480 kPa), high volume air from the compressor section of the APU is bled off through a system of pipes to the engines where it is directed into the starting system. This bleed air is directed into a mechanism to start the engine turning and begin pulling in air. The starter is usually an air turbine type ...

  6. Trompe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trompe

    A trompe is a water-powered air compressor, commonly used before the advent of the electric-powered compressor. A trompe is somewhat like an airlift pump working in reverse. Trompes were used to provide compressed air for bloomery furnaces in Catalonia [ 1 ] and the USA . [ 2 ]

  7. Air line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_line

    The compressed air lines will be piped from the compressor to one or multiple point of use outlets. At the outlet of a fixed air line you will typically find a Pressure regulator installed upstream of the termination/outlet point, this allows the user to regulate the pressure and flow of air to suit the desired use.

  8. Airbreathing jet engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbreathing_jet_engine

    Compressor or Fan – The compressor is made up of stages. Each stage consists of rotating blades and stationary stators or vanes. As the air moves through the compressor, its pressure and temperature increase. The power to drive the compressor comes from the turbine (see below), as shaft torque and speed.

  9. Joy Compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Compressor

    The 1970s saw Joy compressors grow in the US domestic market with much focus on engineered custom compressors for refineries and air separation. Joy centrifugal compressors are operated in dozens of applications throughout the world and are integral to the following industries: auto, glass, textiles, petrochemical, snow making, electronics ...
