COMPRESSORS
Air compressors come in several types, each suited for specific applications:
RECIPROCATING (PISTON) COMPRESSOR
These are the most common and use a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver high-pressure air. They're ideal for intermittent use in small workshops or garages.
ROTARY SCREW COMPRESSOR
Known for their efficiency and continuous operation, these use two rotors to compress air. They are commonly found in industrial settings requiring consistent high-pressure air.
CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR
These are used for larger, high-flow operations. They rely on the transfer of energy from a rotating impeller to the air and are typically used in large industrial applications like chemical plants or oil refineries. Each type serves distinct needs based on air pressure, volume, and application environment.
