  2. 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]

  3. Horsepower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower

    Two common definitions used today are the imperial horsepower as in "hp" or "bhp" which is about 745.7 watts, and the metric horsepower as in "cv" or "PS" which is approximately 735.5 watts. The term was adopted in the late 18th century by Scottish engineer James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses.

  4. 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.

  5. Compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

    A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor. Many compressors can be staged, that is, the gas is compressed several times in steps or stages, to increase discharge pressure.

  6. Ton of refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton_of_refrigeration

    A ton of refrigeration (TR or TOR), also called a refrigeration ton (RT), is a unit of power used in some countries (especially in North America) to describe the heat-extraction capacity of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.

  7. Variable-speed air compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-speed_air_compressor

    This type of compressor uses a special drive to control the speed of the unit, which in turn saves energy compared to a fixed speed equivalent. [1] This is done to improve the efficiency of the compressor as varying the displacement or compression ratio of a compressor generally introduces significant inefficiency, or is impractical to implement.
