  2. McGraw-Edison - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McGraw-Edison

    McGraw-Edison was an American manufacturer of electrical equipment. It was created in 1957 through a merger of McGraw Electric and Thomas A. Edison, Inc., and was in turn acquired by Cooper Industries in 1985. Today, the McGraw-Edison brand is used on industrial, commercial, and institutional lighting products, and is now owned by the ...

  3. Axial compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_compressor

    An axial compressor is a gas compressor that can continuously pressurize gases. It is a rotating, airfoil -based compressor in which the gas or working fluid principally flows parallel to the axis of rotation, or axially. This differs from other rotating compressors such as centrifugal compressor, axi-centrifugal compressors and mixed-flow ...

  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 small stationary high pressure breathing air compressor for filling scuba cylinders. Natural gas compressor at a gas well. High pressure reciprocating compressor from Belliss and Morcom, used in the bottling industry. A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.

  6. Pneumatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatics

    Pneumatics (from Greek πνεῦμα pneuma 'wind, breath') is the use of gas or pressurized air in mechanical systems. Pneumatic systems used in industry are commonly powered by compressed air or compressed inert gases. A centrally located and electrically-powered compressor powers cylinders, air motors, pneumatic actuators, and other ...

  7. Pneumatic tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_tool

    Pneumatic tool. Drilling a blast hole with a pneumatic drill (jackhammer). A pneumatic tool, air tool, air-powered tool or pneumatic-powered tool is a type of power tool, driven by compressed air supplied by an air compressor. Pneumatic tools can also be driven by compressed carbon dioxide (CO 2) stored in small cylinders allowing for portability.

  8. Mixed flow compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_flow_compressor

    A mixed flow compressor, or diagonal compressor, combines axial and radial components to produce a diagonal airflow compressor stage. [1][2] The exit mean radius is greater than at the inlet, like a centrifugal design, but the flow tends to exit in an axial rather than radial direction. This eliminates the need for a relatively large diameter ...

  9. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    A compressor map is a chart which shows the performance of a turbomachinery compressor. This type of compressor is used in gas turbine engines, for supercharging reciprocating engines and for industrial processes, where it is known as a dynamic compressor. A map is created from compressor rig test results or predicted by a special computer program.
