Hermetically sealed just means that it is air tight, though it sometimes just means air can escape but not get in.
An air conditioner would be a good example of a sealed compressor. You do not want any of the refrigerant (usually R134A) to escape to the atmosphere.
If you are pumping a pure gas into a container at higher pressure, for lab work, storage, transport, it'd be sealed to keep out contaminants.
A bicycle pump would be a good example of where such a seal is less necessary. A little blow by hurts the efficiency, but drops the price of manufacture way down.

What are application of rotary screw compressors?
Rotary screw compressors are used in many industrial compressed air systems due to the high volume they produce in comparison to reciprocating compressors. Rotary screws take up much less space, require no heavy flywheels, and need less maintenance than the recip. compressors. Oil free compressed air can be produced by large rotary screw compressors designed as such, while reciprocating compressors can do this only on a smaller scale due to the need for cylinder lubrication in the larger models.
HOW TO OPERAte a screw compressor and reciprocating compressors in series?
Your reciprocating compressors have to be the booster compressors (if running on low temp system)feeding its discharge to the suction of the screw(not directly)(if running on medium temp.

What is SMF Battery?
It stands for sealed maintenance free battery. You dont need to top up it.
What is name of compressor used in domestic refrigerators?
Most of them are hermetically sealed scroll compressors
Should we use a hermitically sealed gas compressor for helium?
No, a semi-hermetically sealed gas compressor is fine. The only difference between hermetically sealed and semi-hermetically sealed is that the semi is made of two pieces, and so can be opened up if a part breaks and needs to be replaced. Hermetically sealed compressors are one solid piece, and so must be completely replaced if they break. From a business stand point, the semi-hermetically sealed is probably best.
What is an hermetic compressor?
a fully welded or serviceableIn hermetically sealed compressor, the compressor and the motor are enclosed in the welded steel casing and the two are connected by a common shaft. This makes the whole compressor and the motor a single compact and portable unit that can be handled easily. The hermetically sealed compressor is very different from the traditional open type of compressors in which the compressor and the motor are different entities and the compressor is connected to the motor by coupling or belt.Construction of the Hermetically Sealed Reciprocating CompressorIn hermetically sealed compressor, in one side of the enclosed casing the various parts of the compressor like cylinder, piston, connecting rod and the crankshaft are located. If it is a multi-cylinder compressor, there are more than two cylinders inside the casing. On the other side of the casing is the electric winding inside which the shaft of the motor rotates. This motor can be single speed or multi-speed motor. In hermetically sealed compressors the crankshaft of the reciprocating compressor and the rotating shaft of the motor are common. The rotating shaft of the motor extends beyond the motor and forms the crankshaft of the hermetically sealed reciprocating compressor.All these parts of the hermetically sealed compressor are assembled and enclosed in a strong and rigid casing made up of welded steel shell. The steel shell comprises of two half rounded steel bodies that are welded together to form the casing for the hermetically sealed compressor. In some cases the two halves of the shell can be bolted together instead of welding, which permits easy opening of the casing in case of compressor burnout.The hermetically sealed compressors have inbuilt lubrication system for the lubrication of the piston and cylinder and crankshaft. The lubricant also acts the coolant for the piston and cylinder. Additionally, the cool suction refrigerant also offers cooling effect. Externally, the casing has refrigerant suction and discharge connections that are connected to the evaporator and condenser respectively. There is also socket for the electrical connection.The typical condenser unit with the hermetically sealed compressor is shown in above fig. Such condenser units are called as hermetic condenser units. In the other image various parts of hermetically sealed multi-cylinder reciprocating compressor are shown.Types of Hermetic CompressorsOne of the most popular types of the hermetically sealed compressors are the reciprocating compressors. They were the first to be used as the hermetically sealed compressors are still being used widely. These days the vane type of rotary compressor has become more popular. It is considered that the rotary type of hermetically sealed compressor consumes less electricity, makes lesser noise, requires lesser maintenance, and is cheaper than the reciprocating type of hermetically sealed compressor. This is because the rotary compressors has less frictional parts and have only a rotor. The centrifugal types of hermetically sealed compressor are used for the large units.
What is the meaning of hermetically sealed?
Hermetically sealed - simply means 'air-tight'.
What does hermetically stored mean?
If something is hermetically sealed, it means that it is sealed so that no oxygen can get inside. People who preserve important documents tend to keep them in hermetically sealed containers so that the air does not destroy them.
Can cockroaches get into a hermetically sealed container?
No.
Where do you put the oil in the home AC compressor?
The compressors that come with central Ac systems are hermetically sealed and have oil inside. There is no need to add oil. If you are replacing the compressor then flush the line set first then replace, also install a filter drier.
How are cans sealed?

Using te word hermetically in a sentence?

Does hermetically sealed transformer have a conservator?
no,hermetical transformers do not have conservator.
How do you write a sentence with hermetically?
hmmm...hermetically means selaed completely or airtight, so you would use it in such situations. ex: during the pickling process of cucumbers, the jar must be hermetically sealed so that no germs or bacteria can form inside it. ex2: pill capsules are hermetically sealed so that oxygen does not enter and cause chemical reactions until after the capsules have been taken by the patient. ... ... ... so basically, you can replace hermetically for words like "completely sealed" or "airtight", and also probably just "sealed."
Is a bank vault hermetically sealed and why or why not?
no it is not. Well, some are ... but it's dangerous, expensive, and silly. A bank vault is designed to keep money in and people out, making it hermetically sealed is overkill, especially if you get locked in.
