An air compressor is a device that converts power into
potential energy stored in pressurized air. It is available in many different
sizes and shapes.
There are different kinds of air
compressors available in the market today. Depending on the intended use,
different sizes and designs are available.it is best to know what kind of a
compressor is needed for work to increase your productivity, cost and safety.
Air compressors are
of three types:
Continuous run models:
They are referred to as compact compressors that supply compressed air as it is
required for the continuous operation of the compressor. They basically work
like shrinking air hoses which uses forced air by reducing the size of nozzles,
which enables to increase the pressure of air before emerging out of the
compressor. These types of compressors are often used in inflating tires, air
mattresses and things that has minor inflation requirements.
Piston-driven
compressors: They are a step ahead of continuous run models. They not only
have a different method of compressing air but also have the ability to store
the compressed air. Hence, this provides a steady supply of compressed air
without having to run the compressor non-stop. As soon as the air is depleted
in the storage tank, the compressor gets readily activated to refill the
storage tank.
They are the most common type of compressors found usually
in automotive shops, residential garages and workshops. These are some of the
most versatile and useful because of its small size and portability.
Rotatory screw
compressors: There are usually found in large industries like assembly
plants and manufacturing industries. They use large screws to compress and
force air up into a storage tank. They are available in single and dual stage
varieties allowing for higher pressure outputs.
Different types of air compressors serve different purposes.
They have different types of power depending on the level the user requires.
Few are used for spray painting and others help in filling car tire. This greatly helps in knowing the capacity of
power an air compressor can provide.
Unlike other machineries air compressors do not need regular
or tedious maintenance. A monthly check is enough to maintain air compressors
in the long run. This is to prevent minor problems which if not done may result
in malfunctioning of the engine.
