What is an air compressor used for?

Q: What is the purpose of an air compressor?

A: Air compressor is an important air source device, which is widely used in various industries. Here are its main uses:

1. Compressed gas as power: After compression, air can be used as a power source to drive various mechanical and pneumatic tools, as well as control instruments and automation devices.

2. Refrigeration and gas separation: Through the process of compression, cooling and expansion, the gas can be liquefied for artificial refrigeration. At the same time, compressors are also used for gas separation.

3. Synthesis and polymerization: In the chemical industry, some gases are conducive to synthesis and polymerization after the pressure is increased by the compressor, such as nitrogen and hydrogen to ammonia, hydrogen and carbon dioxide to methanol, etc.

4. Gas transportation: compressors are also used for pipeline transportation and bottling of gases, such as remote gas and natural gas transportation, as well as chlorine and carbon dioxide bottling.

In addition to this, air compressors have the following extended uses:

1. Industrial use: In industrial manufacturing, compressed air is widely used to clean parts, purge workplaces, drive tools and machinery, etc.

2. Medical industry: In the medical environment, compressed air is used to drive various medical equipment and tools, such as dental drilling rigs, scalpels, etc.

3. Mining industry: In the mining industry, compressed air is used to drive pneumatic tools and machinery, such as pneumatic drilling rigs, pneumatic scrapers, etc.

4. Fire-fighting use: In the field of fire-fighting, compressed air is used to drive fire-fighting equipment and equipment, such as fire pumps, foam fire extinguishing systems, etc.

5. Automotive industry: In automobile manufacturing and maintenance, compressed air is used to clean parts, pneumatic tires, drive pneumatic tools, etc.

6. Aerospace: In the aerospace field, compressed air is used to drive various systems and equipment of aircraft and rockets, such as hydraulic systems, brake systems, etc.

7. Environmental protection field: In the field of environmental protection, compressed air is used to drive exhaust gas treatment equipment, dust removal equipment, etc.

8. Construction industry: In the construction industry, compressed air is used to drive pneumatic tools and machinery, such as pneumatic nail guns, pneumatic grinders, etc.

9. Electronics industry: In electronics manufacturing, compressed air is used to clean electronic components, drive pneumatic tools and machinery, etc.

10. Sports and entertainment: In the field of sports and entertainment, compressed air is used in inflatable balls, air mattresses, swimming pool inflatable equipment, etc.

In conclusion, air compressors are very versatile and involve almost every aspect of our lives.

The use of Shanghai Granklin Group’s “water lubricated air compressor” in compressed gas is inherently oil-free, and Granklin Group also has complete qualifications for air compressors that can be used in multiple industries.
