2. Reciprocating compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_compressor

   A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Pressures of up to 5,000 psig are commonly produced by multistage reciprocating compressors.

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. Diaphragm compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_compressor

   A three-stage diaphragm compressor. In the late 19th century William Burton started a workshop building pumps and air compressors at Nogent-sur-Oise, 60km north of Paris, France. Henri Corblin, generally recognised as the inventor of the metallic diaphragm compressor, was based nearby in Paris itself and in 1923 he received a US patent for his ...

5. Rotary-screw compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary-screw_compressor

   Consequently, air treatment identical to that used for an oil-flooded screw compressor is frequently required to ensure quality compressed air. In small piston compressors carpenters homeowners sometimes use "oil free" compressors in which oil free is a reference to not using oil but Teflon type of coatings permanently adhered to wear surfaces.

6. Parabolic aluminized reflector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_aluminized_reflector

   A PAR56, for example, is 56 eighths of an inch (7 inches) in diameter; a PAR36 is 36 eighths (4.5 inches) in diameter, and so on. Similarly, the diameter in millimeters can be found by multiplying the PAR designation by 3.175. For example, a PAR16 lamp is approximately 2 inches or 50.8 mm in diameter. [1]

7. Centrifugal compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_compressor

   The simplest inlet to a centrifugal compressor is typically a simple pipe. Depending upon its use/application inlets can be very complex. They may include other components such as an inlet throttle valve, a shrouded port, an annular duct (see Figure 1.1), a bifurcated duct, stationary guide vanes/airfoils used to straight or swirl flow (see Figure 1.1), movable guide vanes (used to vary pre ...
