Atlas Copco has been providing world-class air compressors, blowers, nitrogen generators, air dryers, filters, air receivers, piping and other energy efficient compressed air products for over 60 years in India. An air compressor is a pneumatic device that converts power (using an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in pressurized air (i.e., compressed air). By one of several methods, an air compressor forces more and more air into a storage tank, increasing the pressure. When the tank's pressure reaches its engineered upper limit, the air compressor shuts off. The compressed air, then, is held in the tank until called into use.[1] The energy contained in the compressed air can be used for a variety of applications, utilizing the kinetic energy of the air as it is released and the tank depressurizes. When tank pressure reaches its lower limit, the air compressor turns on again and re-pressurizes the tank. An air compressor must be differentiated from a pump because it works for any gas/air, while pumps work on a liquid. Air compressors have many uses, including: supplying high-pressure clean air to fill gas cylinders, supplying moderate-pressure clean air to a submerged surface supplied diver, supplying moderate-pressure clean air for driving some office and school building pneumatic HVAC control system valves, supplying a large. The basic principle of a screw compressor is as the male and female rotors are rotating in opposite direction they draw air in between them. The speed of the rotors is optimized at a certain level to minimize mechanical loses (due to heat at very high speed) and volumetric losses (air losses due to very low speed).
