Compressor

A compressor is a mechanical device designed to increase the pressure of a gas and transport it. Its core principle involves either reducing the volume of the gas (positive displacement) or accelerating the gas and then converting its kinetic energy into pressure (dynamic) to significantly raise its pressure. It serves as the "heart" of operations, providing pneumatic power, enabling gas synthesis, facilitating process control, and driving refrigeration cycles. Categorized mainly into piston, screw, and centrifugal types based on their working principles, compressors are indispensable in a wide range of industries—including manufacturing, chemicals, refrigeration, and energy—due to their ability to generate high pressure and their vast array of applications.
