Compressor

1. Rotary Screw Compressor

A rotary-screw compressor is a type of gas compressor, such as an air compressor, that uses
a rotary-type positive-displacement mechanism. These compressors are common in industrial
applications and replace more traditional piston compressors where larger volumes of
compressed gas are needed, e.g. for large refrigeration cycles such as chillers, or for
compressed air systems to operate air-driven tools such as jackhammers and impact wrenches.

The compression action of a twin-screw compressor with a six-lobe female screw and a five-
lobe male screw. The compression of one pair of cavities is highlighted: air is sucked in through
the intake port, compressed (shown by the color change from cyan to red) and released through
the outlet port.

2. Reciprocating Air 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
A motor-driven six-cylinder reciprocating compressor that can operate with two, four or six
cylinders

3. Axial Compressor

An axial compressor is a gas compressor that can continuously pressurize gases. It is a

rotating, airfoil-based compressor in which the gas or working fluid principally flows parallel to
the axis of rotation, or axially.

4. Centrifugal Compressor
Centrifugal compressors, sometimes called radial compressors, are a sub-class of dynamic
axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery

Driver for compressor

Three types of compressor drivers are typically available: gas or diesel engines, mechanical
drive gas turbines and electric motors. A fourth choice is a steam turbine, which is used
extensively in hydrocarbon processing plants and other industries that have ample supplies of
steam.
