What is the compressors ?

A compressors is a machine that compresses air or another type of gas from a low inlet pressure (usually atmospheric) to a higher desired pressure level to meet system requirement by providing a mean to reduce the volume of the gas. Compressors are either positive displacement unit (reciprocating piston, rotary screw , or rotary vane types) or dynamic (axial flow with rotating blades mounted on a rotor or centrifugal with blades mounted on a rotating impeller). We will provide detailed information in the next article.
