Industry and Process where Air Compressors play major Role

Compressors are mechanical devices used to increase pressure in a variety of compressible fluids, or gases, the most common of these being air. Compressors are used throughout industry to provide shop or instrument air to power air tools, paint sprayers, and abrasive blast equipment to phase shift refrigerants for air conditioning and refrigeration to propel gas through pipelines.

Types of Air Compressors:

Compressors may be characterized in several different ways, but are commonly divided into types based on the functional method used to generate the compressed air or gas.
  • Axial
  • Scroll
  • Piston
  • Diaphragm
  • Rotary Lobe
  • Centrifugal
  • Sliding vane
  • Helical Screw
Industrial process where Compressors widely uses:

Compressed air dryer:

A compressed air dryer is a machine that sucks in and significantly reduces the moisture content of ambient air. In manufacturing, air dryers serve the vital role of rendering air more sanitary and conducive for workers and products alike. Compressed air dryers can be categorised in two major categories.

Refrigerated:

Refrigerated air dryers work on the principle of reducing moisture by cooling the air and condensing the moisture. The condensed moisture is then drained off. The cooled, dry air is then blown out while the warmer, moist air is pre-cooled and taken into the system.

Regenerative Desiccant:

Heatless desiccant type dryers is a regenerative air dryer works by using two towers. One tower contains a desiccant that absorbs moisture from incoming air. The other tower regenerates the desiccant after the pressure returns to normal. This process allows you to time the cycle and run it as needed.

Medical Oxygen PSA Generator:

Medical oxygen generator use compressed air is used for separating oxygen from air. In the process of compression, moisture and heat happen. To remove them, built-in or independent air dryer and after-cooler are necessary. Desiccant air dryer is used for removing moisture by using adsorbent. It consists of two absorbers and it has the repeated cycles of adsorption and regeneration.
