Types of Air Compressors 
A Comprehensive Guide

Air compressors are a crucial component of various industries, transforming atmospheric air into pressurized compressed air. This makes it one of the 'fourth utilities' along with water, gas, and electricity. Approximately 10% of the electricity consumed by the manufacturing industry is used for compressed air. Choosing the right air compressor depends on a particular situation, and experts can help choose the best one. Here, we will discuss the different types of air compressors, their mechanisms, and factors to consider when selecting one.

Types of Air Compressors

Air compressors can be categorized into two main types of air-compression technologies:

dynamic compressors and positive displacement compressors.

What Compressor should I choose?

alternative text for accessiliblty

Several factors impact the choice of air compressor, including the application, the type of compressed air required, the size and capacity of the compressor, and the cost of ownership, including energy costs. It is essential to determine the exact process for which the air compressor will be used. For example, compressed air that is used in applications involving pharmaceuticals or food must meet stringent regulations and is known as "active air." Oil-free compressors are used to ensure that the compressed air produced is completely clean.

Common Questions

Piston compressors employ cylinders, pistons, and cranks to compress air, while rotary screw compressors use rotating screws to compress air. Rotary screw compressors require cooling fluids such as oil to maintain operational temperatures and generate high-quality, constant airflow, making them useful in many industrial sectors.
