What Are The Various Types Of Air Compressors ?

by Audry Campbell Writer
Air is present everywhere whether it is a closed compartment or an open air ground. When the air is in open, it lacks force. However when the air is stored in a compartment and compressed, it can produce such force which can be used to perform several functions in different industries. The phenomenon of compressing the sir can be seen in natural activities as well like breathing.

We breathe in the air in very less quantity but we can use this stored air in the lungs to blow candles. The force is much higher when we blow. In the manufacturing units and various industries, we can save on energy with the help of the air compressor. Compressing the air increases, the air pressure hence increasing the force of air stored making it perfect for various functions. The different types of industries require different compressors depending on their power and functioning. 

The different types of air compressors are:-

Rotary screw compressor:- This is also a type of positive displacement compressor. The rotary screw compressors contain two rotors, often called as male rotor and female rotor that rotate into the casing hence compressing the air. In the rotary screw compressor, mostly the rotor is cooled with help of the oil. There are two further types of rotary screw compressors used by the compressed air service and they are oil flooded one and without the oil one.

Reciprocating air compressors:- In reciprocating air, compressors augment the force by dipping the volume of the air. It is a type of positive displacement compressor.  In this type of compressor, there is a piston, which is used as an element to displace air, reduce volume and enhance the pressure.

Centrifugal compressors:- It is a type of dynamic air compressor. Energy produced from a rotating impeller is transferred to air hence compressing it to produce extra pressure. Centrifugal compressor is known for producing high flow of energy and capacity since the flow within the compressor is continuous.
 
Depending on the needs of the industry, you can utilize any of these air compressor. If your industry requires high flow of force, energy for different functions then you can use the air compressor units to perform them. This will help you to save on energy, resources, cost of application as well as giving a better performance from the same equipment. Hence, to initiate a new trend in your industry for saving on investment and increasing the returns on investment, utilize the compressing units.
