  2. Air compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_compressor

    Air compressor supplies air into a nail gun.. An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It is an application of a gas compressor and a pneumatic device that converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses.

  3. Compressor stall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_stall

    Axi-symmetric stall, more commonly known as compressor surge; or pressure surge, is a complete breakdown in compression resulting in a reversal of flow and the violent expulsion of previously compressed air out through the engine intake, due to the compressor's inability to continue working against the already-compressed air behind it. The ...

  4. Compressed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

    Compressed air is an important medium for the transfer of energy in industrial processes and is used for power tools such as air hammers, drills, wrenches, and others, as well as to atomize paint, to operate air cylinders for automation, and can also be used to propel vehicles. Brakes applied by compressed air made large railway trains safer ...

  5. Compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

    Service stations and auto repair shops use compressed air to fill pneumatic tires and power pneumatic tools. Fire pistons and heat pumps exist to heat air or other gasses, and compressing the gas is only a means to that end. Rotary lobe compressors are often used to provide air in pneumatic conveying lines for powder or solids.

  6. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

    While fully developed compressor surge is axisymmetric, its initial phase is not necessarily axisymmetric. Actually, severe damage of compressor surge is often related to very large transverse loads on blades and casing in its initial transient. [7] A chain reaction of compressor surge is the flameout of a jet engine. Due to a lack of air ...

  7. Compressed air dryer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_dryer

    The compression of air raises its temperature and concentrates atmospheric contaminants, primarily water vapor, as resulting in air with elevated temperature and 100% relative humidity. As the compressed air cools down, water vapor condenses into the tank(s), pipes, hoses and tools connected downstream from the compressor which may be damaging.
