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 difference between reciprocating compressor and a rotary compressor?
A rotary compressor has screws or gears that compress a gas. A reciprocating compressor has a piston in a cylinder compressing the gas.
When in everyday life does diffusion occur with liquids?
Deodorants , any smelly liquids the gas given off defuses around the air
Can you convert the noble gases into liquids?
Yes, you can convert the noble gases into liquids. It is possible to liquefy any gas by cooling it enough.

What liquids can change into a gas?
Any liquid will change into a gas at a sufficiently high temperature. Every substance has a boiling point.
What is the difference between a BLOWER and COMPRESSOR?
There is no difference. A blower is just a term used for a supercharger. A compressor is any machine that compresses a gas for many different purposes. A supercharger in its many forms is a type of compressor
