Do you have a business in auto repair or the manufacturing industry? Are you familiar with how the machinery and equipment used in the shop or factory functions? Here is what you need to know about industrial air compressors, their maintenance and capabilities.

First, what is an industrial air compressor? It is a machine that collects air from the atmosphere and compresses it into a holding chamber.

The pressurized air will then be used for various applications ranging from inflating balloons and pool toys to powering pneumatic tools like impact wrenches, spray guns, and nail guns.

Industrial air compressors can be used for major industrial processes such as oxidation for petroleum coking and cement plant bag house purge systems.

There are several types of air compressors based on the principle of their operation. Positive displacement compressors are those whose compressing and displacement actions were caused by the positive action of the rotating parts. Some compressors under this type include the tandem piston compressors, double-acting compressors, and diaphragm compressors.

Roto-dynamic compressors operate by forcing the fluid into a diffuser to increase its pressure. Some compressors under this type are the centrifugal compressors and the axial flow compressors.
