    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_compressor

    A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. [1] [2] Pressures of up to 5,000 psig are commonly produced by multistage reciprocating compressors.

  4. Compressor characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_characteristic

    A compressor increases the pressure of a fluid passing through it, so that the exit pressure is higher than the inlet pressure. Due to this property, compressors are used in a wide range of machines, such as refrigerators , cars, jet engines and industrial processes.

    Some turbofans have an intermediate pressure (IP) compressor located between the fan and the high pressure (HP) compressor to increase overall pressure ratio. US civil engines tend to mount the IP compressor on the LP shaft, directly behind the fan, whereas Rolls-Royce normally mount the IP compressor on a separate (i.e. IP) shaft, which is ...

  6. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    For example, if the static compression ratio is 10:1, and the dynamic compression ratio is 7.5:1, a useful value for cylinder pressure would be 7.5 1.3 × atmospheric pressure, or 13.7 bar (relative to atmospheric pressure). The two corrections for dynamic compression ratio affect cylinder pressure in opposite directions, but not in equal strength.

  7. 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.
