Air compressor is any mechanical device that increases the pressure by reducing the volume of fluid or gas and uses this force to start other devices and tools. Depending on the type of system and compression method, compressors are produced in different types. Each model is used according to its application and compression level
Types of wind compressors
Wind compressors are classified based on various parameters such as: pressure, power of the drive motor, portability, etc. But their most common classification is based on how power is transferred from the compressor to the fluid. Based on this, compressors are divided into two categories: dynamic and positive displacement.
Dynamic compressors
In this model of compressors, the transfer of energy to the fluid is done permanently. This model itself exists in two types, centrifugal and axial flow. In dynamic centrifugal compressors, the fluid enters the center of the impeller through radial vanes and is thrown out towards the periphery of the impeller due to centrifugal forces. Before the fluid enters the center of the next impeller, it passes through a diffuser into a spiral chamber, where the kinetic energy is converted into static pressure. Kinetic energy is converted into pressure through a series of fixed or moving vanes along the axis of rotation.
Positive displacement
This model of compressors transfers energy alternately, which leads to an increase in pressure in the fluid. This model is produced and marketed in two types, round and round.
