  2. Bauer Kompressoren - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauer_Kompressoren

    Bauer Kompressoren is a company that produces compressors for air and other gasses. The company was formed in 1946 in Munich and exports 90% of their products. [1] [2]Its products include compressors which fill breathing air cylinders and are used by fire fighters and divers, [3] air/gas processing and measurement products, natural gas and biogas filling stations and internal gas pressure ...

  3. 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 ...

  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.

    When tank pressure reaches its engineered upper limit the air compressor shuts off. The compressed air, then, is held in the tank until called into use. [14] Air conditioner – Air conditioning (often referred to as AC, A/C, or air con) [15] is the process of removing heat and moisture from the interior of an occupied space, to improve the ...

  6. Rotary-screw compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary-screw_compressor

    Principal view of the pumping action of a twin-screw pump with a six-lobe female screw and a five-lobe male screw. A compressor (as opposed to a pump) would be shaped the same way, except that the shape of the lobes would change along the length of the screw, so that the volume of the trapped pockets would get squeezed smaller as they get closer to the exhaust port.

  7. Variable-speed air compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-speed_air_compressor

    A professional air audit is the best way to identify if a VSD compressor is most appropriate for any given compressed air application. [2] These audits are available from various companies that specialize in the implementation of compressed air equipment, which can determine the most efficient controls for a compressed air system – including ...

  8. Pneumatic tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_tool

    Each individual tool has its own specific requirements which determine their compatibility with air compressor systems. Flow or airflow, related to air consumption in pneumatic tools, represents the quantity of compressed air that passes through a section over a unit of time. It is represented in l/min, m3, at the equivalent value in free air ...

  9. Compressed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

    Compressed air is an important medium for the transfer of energy in industrial processes and is used for power tools such as air hammers, drills, wrenches, and others, as well as to atomize paint, to operate air cylinders for automation, and can also be used to propel vehicles. Brakes applied by compressed air made large railway trains safer ...
