What is an air compressor?
An air compressor is a device that compresses air to increase the pressure and is used to power pneumatic tools, mechanical equipment or other air-using devices.
Classification
Volumetric air compressor:
By changing the volume of the compression chamber to make air compression, common type:
Piston Air Compressor: Compresses air by utilizing the reciprocating motion of a piston, suitable for high pressure demand.
Screw air compressor: compresses air by rotating two screw rotors, smooth operation, suitable for continuous work.
Power type air compressor:
Utilizing high-speed rotating blades to increase the kinetic energy of the air, and then converting the kinetic energy into pressure energy, a common type:
Centrifugal air compressor: suitable for high flow and low pressure scenarios.
Axial Air Compressor: For ultra-high flow requirements, such as aircraft engines.
By pressure:
low pressure (<10 bar), medium pressure (10-100 bar), high pressure (>100 bar).
By drive: electric air compressor, diesel air compressor.
By application: industrial, portable, special air compressor.
Usage: Widely used in industrial manufacturing, construction engineering, medical, transportation and mining.
Advantages: stable and efficient power, widely used, simple operation
In water well drilling rigs, air compressors are commonly used for pneumatic drilling tools and rock chip removal to improve drilling efficiency.
