 WHAT IS A COMPRESSOR?

COMPRESSORS ARE MECHANICAL DEVICES THAT COMPRESSES GASSES. IT

IS WIDELY USED IN INDUSTRIES AND HAS VARIOUS APPLICATIONS.

WE NEED TO COMPRESS GASSES FOR AIR CONDITIONERS,HOME AND

INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATIONS,INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING.
 HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT FROM PUMPS?

MAJOR DIFFERENCE IS THAT COMPRESSORS HANDLES GASSES AND PUMPS

HANDLES THE LIQUIDS.
BECAUSE GASSES ARE COMPRESSIBLE AND THE VOLUME ALSO CAN BE REDUCED.

TYPES
 NON POSITIVE TYPE OF COMPRESSORS

THE DYNAMIC COMPRESSOR IS CONTINUOS FLOW COMPRESSOR IS CHARACTERIZED BY

ROTATING THE IMPELLER TO ADD VELOCITY AND THUS PRESSURE TO FLUID.
IN OTHER WORDS A ROTATING COMPONENT IMPARTS ITS KINETIC ENERGY TO AIR AND
WHICH IS EVENTUALLY CONVERTED TO PRESSURE ENERGY.

IT IS WIDELY USED IN CHEMICAL AND PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY

THEY AS CLASSIFIED AS
-CENTRIFUGAL COMPREESOR.
AXIAL COMPRESSOR.
AXIAL FLOW COMPRESSOR

-ROTOR
-STATOR
DESIGN
CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR
 APPLICATION OF COMPRESSOR
The application of the compressor are as follows:

• The difficulties of vapor contaminants process generate

the requirement to apply and analyse the distinct type of
compressor.
• In the fields of production, the distinct type of equipment
like nut runners are powered by availing compressed air.
• The air compressor and gas compressor avails air
pressure for measuring instrument.
continued........

• The air compressor and gas compressor are used in

many industries like electronics, automobiles, steel,
chemicals, food processing industry, machinery,
pharmaceuticals, construction, civil engineering, glass,
pulp, and paper, and theme parks.
 ADVANTAGES OF COMPRESSOR
• THE BENEFITS OF CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR:

 It has low maintenance cost.

 It has low installation cost.
 It has high continuity of service and also dependability.
 It is adaptable to high speed and less maintenance cost
drivers.
 THE ADVANTAGES OF RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR:

 It contains high flexibility in the range of pressure and

capacity.
 It has a greater efficiency of the compressor.
 It is less sensitivity to the changes to the composition of
gas and density.
 DISADVANTAGES OF COMPRESSOR:

 Separate heavy foundation

 Pulsating flow
 Vulnerable to dirt and liquid
 Low reliability
 Maintenance
 Plot area
 Large volume capacity
 Torsional implications
