1.The compressors used for compressing the other gases and air are independent entities. This means they merely compress the gas or air and supply it for the suitable applications. They have no direct connection with any other type of machine, though lots of machines and equipments depend on the compressed air or gas. The refrigeration and the air conditioning compressors are a part of the complete vapor compression cycle that comprises of additional components like the condenser, expansion valve and the evaporator. If the compressor is removed from this cycle, the refrigeration process will cease to exist.

  • Main function of the compressor: The main function of the other compressors is to merely compress the gas or air. The refrigerant compressor compresses the refrigerant to the pressure corresponding to the saturation pressure higher than the temperature of the naturally available air or water. This enables the cooling of the refrigerant in the condenser by the available atmospheric air or water.

    Further, the refrigerant compressor also circulates the refrigerant through the whole cycle. The refrigerant after leaving the compressor is forced to the condenser, the expansion valve, and the evaporator and then it is sucked by the compressor for compression and recirculation though the whole cycle.

    3) Capacity Determination: The capacity of the refrigerating compressor determines the capacity of the whole refrigerating or air conditioning plant. The capacity of the air or gas compressor doesn't determine the capacity of the other plants. For instance, though the pneumatic tool depends on the compressed air for its operation, it has its own capacity.

    4) Relation to the other equipments: The refrigerating compressor is integral part of the cycle that includes other components of the cycle like condenser, expansion valve, and the evaporator. The working and proper functioning of each of these components depend on the working of other components. If the refrigeration compressor breaks down the whole system will collapse. There is no such dependency in case of the other compressors. If the air or gas compressor breaks down, the standby compressor can be started easily.

If you raise your cars air conditioner to a higher temperature will you use less gas than if you keep it cooler?

The gas efficiency of a vehicle is determined by how much power is being used. The air compressor is what affects the gas mileage. The hard the compressor works the more gas a car will use. If the compressor is on the gas economy will go down.

What is an Air Compressor?

An air compressor is a tool that is used to provide compressed air. The compressor compresses the air which is stored in a large tank. Tools such as drills and air blow guns can then be attached to the air compressor. The compressed air can than flow through the tools to power them.
