Air Compressor
Air Compressor
An air compressor is a mechanical device that is used to convert power, typically from an electric motor or a gasoline/diesel engine, into potential energy stored in compressed air. Air compressors work by drawing in atmospheric air and then compressing it to a higher pressure, resulting in the compressed air that can be used for various applications.
Air compressors are essential tools in many industries and play a critical role in powering pneumatic systems, tools, and equipment for various applications that require compressed air. It is available in different types, including reciprocating, rotary screws, and centrifugal compressors, each with its own set of characteristics and benefits.
