Commonly used air compressor types and applications
Air compressor application industry
Air compressor as a power energy consumption products, it is widely used in many industries and fields, including industry, construction, chemical industry, medical, military, food processing, etc. Air compressors as an important energy source for industrial products, can be called the “life source” of industrial products.
Common types of compressors are as follows:
1. Screw air compressor
Screw air compressors are mainly used in industrial fields, such as automobile manufacturing, textile, petrochemical and other industries. They are characterized by high efficiency, low noise, and high reliability, and can provide high-pressure and high-flow rate air. The working principle of a screw compressor is to compress the air by two rotating screws, and at the same time cool and filter out the impurities in the air, to obtain dry and high-pressure air.
2. Piston Air Compressor
Usually used in small machines, workshops and vehicles for pneumatic tools, such as nail guns, paint spray guns, stamping presses and so on. There are various types of piston air compressors, including single-stage and multi-stage, and they have different output pressures and flow rates. Piston air compressors work by compressing air through a piston that moves back and forth to obtain high-pressure air. Because of their smaller size and lower price, piston air compressors are widely used in small machines and equipment.
3. Centrifugal Air Compressor
They are mainly used in high-flow rate applications such as water treatment, power, and chemical industries. They are characterized by high efficiency, low noise, and high reliability and can provide high-pressure and high-flow rate air.
4. Membrane Air Compressors
They are mainly used in the medical and pharmaceutical fields, as they can provide dry, clean air without generating oil and dust. Membrane air compressors filter and separate impurities in the gas to ensure air purity. Unlike other types of air compressors, membrane air compressors do not have lubricating oils or pistons, making them ideal for applications that require high purity.
