Air compressors are devices that compress and pressurise air for use in domestic and commercial purposes. There are a number of types available depending on the application that the compressed air will be used for. Common commercial applications include:
- Supplying clean air to fill gas cylinders
- Powering pneumatic tools such as jackhammers
- Driving pneumatic HVAC control system valves
- Filling tires for vehicles and commercial machinery
- Producing moderate-press air for industrial processes
Hydraulic air compressors are typically divided into these groups:
- Piston compressors: These types of systems are suitable for basic applications such as powering small hand tools or air flushing quarry drills.
- Rotary vane compressors: Vanes are mounted to a rotor which are then rotated inside a cavity. These systems are often used for commercial and automotive purposes.
- Rotary screw compressors: Two helical screws rotate in a housing to compress the air. These compressors are used for general industrial applications.
The purpose for compressed air determines the system to be used. The extensive use of air compressors particularly in industrial environments means that repairs are often necessary.
