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.


Is an Air Compressor and an unfired pressure vessel the same thing?

A compressor increases the velocity of incoming air/gas and then converts this velocity energy into pressure energy. Using multi-stage compressor the pressure can be increased manifold. Most common compressor is the centrifugal type where air/gas is energized to high energy velocity by a rotating disc and impeller. A divergent duct then converts this high velocity air/gas into high pressure air/gas.A compressor is not a container or a vessel and as such it does not store pressurized air/gas and hence cannot be termed as a pressure vessel. However to store and utilize this high pressure air/gas, an air receiver is connected to it through pipe and valves which stores such high pressure air/gas. This air receiver is a pressure vessel.Air receiver which is a pressure vessel is subjected to periodic examination by a government certified competent person whereas compressors only need routine and preventive maintenance by inhouse engineers. The Factories Act and the Rules thereunder are very specific about this and has clearly mentioned such distinction.

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 the Difference between an air compressor and gas compressors?

the air compressor: is a device that converts power (usually from an electric motor, a diesel engine or a gasoline engine) into kinetic energy by compressing and pressurizing air, which, on command, can be released in quick bursts The gas compressor: is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume

What is the basics of compressor?

Unsure as to what type of compressor you are asking about, but an AC compressor compresses gas/freon and pushes it through the system. With a normal Air Compressor, it just compresses the air so that you expel it to pump tires or blow up floats.


What is used compressor?

compressor is used for compress the gas or liquid to a certain level "Based on design" like In a air-conditioning compressor is used for compress the gas on high temperature and high pressure in the result gas convert to high temperature liquid form.
