FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- Air compressor
- A machine that converts power into compressed air by reducing gas volume. Common types include rotary screw, reciprocating, centrifugal and scroll compressors, used across manufacturing, food, pharmaceutical and energy sectors.
- Rotary screw compressor
- A positive displacement compressor using two interlocking helical screws to compress air continuously. Popular for industrial duty cycles and often paired with variable speed drives for energy efficiency.
- Reciprocating compressor
- A positive displacement compressor using pistons to compress gas in cylinders. Known for high pressure ratios and used in process, gas and refrigeration applications.
- Centrifugal compressor
- A dynamic compressor that uses a rotating impeller to add velocity and pressure to gas. Suited to large-volume, oil-free applications in petrochemical, power and process industries.
- Scroll compressor
- A positive displacement compressor with two interleaved spiral scrolls. Quiet and efficient, often used in smaller capacity air conditioning and refrigeration systems.
- Vacuum pump
- A device that removes gas molecules from a sealed volume to create a partial vacuum. Technologies include dry, oil-sealed, rotary vane, screw and liquid ring pumps, selected by required vacuum level and process cleanliness.
- Dry vacuum pump
- A vacuum pump that operates without oil or sealing fluid in the compression chamber, reducing contamination risk. Common in semiconductor, pharmaceutical and food packaging vacuum processes.
- Roots blower
- A positive displacement rotary blower using two lobed rotors to move large gas volumes at low pressure ratios. Frequently used for vacuum boosting, pneumatic conveying and aeration.
- Vacuum ejector
- A venturi-based device that uses a motive fluid (air, steam or water) to create vacuum. Simple, robust and often used where electrical vacuum pumps are impractical.
- Variable speed drive (VSD)
- An electronic controller that adjusts motor speed to match air or vacuum demand. VSD operation reduces energy waste in compressor and vacuum systems compared with fixed-speed on/off control.
- Compressed air dryer
- Equipment that removes moisture from compressed air to protect tools, processes and product quality. Refrigerated and desiccant dryers are common, selected by required dew point.
- Pneumatic actuator
- A device that converts compressed air energy into mechanical motion, used in valves, automation and packaging machinery. Selection depends on force, stroke and control requirements.
