What is the Compressor is type

Question

Accepted Answer

Compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.

Compressors can be classified into types based on their design and operation, such as reciprocating, rotary, centrifugal, and scroll compressors.
Reciprocating compressors use pistons to compress the gas, while rotary compressors use rotating mechanisms.
Centrifugal compressors use a rotating impeller to create high-velocity gas flow, which is then converted into pressure.
Scroll compressors use two interleaving scrolls to compress the gas.
Each type of compressor has its own advantages and applications based on factors like efficiency, capacity, and pressure requirements.
