I'm not sure what you mean but a compressor is a machine for compressing gas, it can compress all gasses. A compressor is a type of Pneumatic system. All Pneumatic systems compress air, or a gas of some kind. If you replace the gas with liquid, the system becomes Hydraulic rather than Pneumatic. Hydraulic systems require more powerfull pumps to drive them and high tensile hoses & seals through which to conduct the fluid. An air compressor is not suitable for use with liquid, as the pressures involved are generally far higher. The hydraulic equivelant of an air compressor would require a particular kind of liquid; one that is non-compressible. These liquids are manufactured specially for such systems. They are more or less the same as the brake fluid you would find in a car or other vehicle.

What is a gas compressor?

What Is A Gas Compressor?Answer: A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.Compressors are similar to pumps: both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe. As gases are compressible, the compressor also reduces the volume of a gas. Liquids are relatively incompressible, while some can be compressed, the main action of a pump is to pressurize and transport liquids.

What is the effect of high gas suction pressure in a gas compressor?

High gas suction pressure in a gas compressor can lead to increased power consumption, reduced compressor efficiency, and potential damage to the compressor components due to excessive load. It can also result in higher discharge temperatures and potential overheating of the compressor.
