Type Of Compressor Works:
1. Reciprocating Compressor (Piston Type) - How It Works
It has a cylinder with a piston that moves back and forth.
When the piston moves back, it pulls air in (intake).
When it moves forward, it compresses the air (compression).
The compressed air is then pushed out (discharge).
Example: Works like a motorcycle engine.
2. Rotary Screw Compressor - How It Works
It uses two rotating screws (like a spiral shape).
As the screws rotate in opposite directions, air gets trapped between them.
As the air moves along the screws, it gets compressed.
Finally, the compressed air is released.
Advantage: Continuous and smooth air supply - great for industrial use.
3. Centrifugal Compressor - How It Works
It has a spinning impeller that throws air outward at high speed.
As air spins, centrifugal force increases its pressure.
The high-pressure air is then sent out of the compressor.
Example: Like a fan spinning fast and throwing air outward.
4. Scroll Compressor - How It Works
It uses two spiral scrolls - one fixed, one rotating.
As the scroll rotates, it traps air and pushes it toward the center.
The volume decreases, pressure increases, and compressed air is released.
Benefit: Very quiet and energy-efficient - ideal for AC and refrigerators.
5. Diaphragm Compressor - How It Works
It has a flexible diaphragm (membrane) that moves back and forth.
When it pulls back, it draws in gas.
When it pushes forward, it compresses and releases the gas.
Use: Safely compresses hazardous or toxic gases - used in labs and chemical industries.
