they have different names A Pump is a mechanical device which transfers Liquid from a lower point to a higher point.Eg: Centrifugal pump,Rotary pump,Reciprocating pump. A Compressor is a high pressure mechanical device which basically compressors air/gas Well, a compressor compresses a gas and a pump moves a liquid. Compressors are often used in refrigeration applications where gas is transformed into a liquid and vice-versa, so the main task for the compressor is not to move the gas but to compress it.
