Air Compressor Information An air compressor is a machine used to compress and pressurize air that is then released by a rapid burst, by converting electricity into kinetic energy. There many various types of air compression, these can be positivedisplacement or non-positive displacement type. In order to achieve the compression for the positive-displacement type of compressors, air is forced into the chamber in which the volume is minimized. Piston-type air compressors use the theory of positive displacement by using the regular activity of the piston to propel air into the chamber. Unidirectional valves are used to direct air into the chamber. Same as the piston type, rotary screw compressor also acquire the principle of positive displacement. The volume of air leading to the chamber is minimized by turning on the two matching helical screw. Slotted rotor with mottled blade placement is used in vane compressor to minimize the volume and lead the air to the chamber. Centrifugal compressors are used in a non-displacement air compressor. The centrifugal force used in these devices is achieved when the captured air is pressurize accelerating and decelerating the rotated impeller.
Air compressors are usually used to put air to flat tires, to fill the gas cylinders with a high pressure clean air, for macroscopic industrial processes by supplying huge volume of pressure air, for cleaning large and small equipments or apparatus by applying moderate air pressure and many other applications. Compressors are usually either be rotary screw, rotary vane or reciprocating type of compressor. For a very huge application, centrifugal compressors are commonly used. Air pump compressor has two main types, thee oiless and the oil lubed type. The oiles scheme is more pricey, last longer but louder rather the oiled lube tubes of pumps because it has more technical advancement and compresses a better quality of air
