Question:

Are air compressors and compressors the same equipment?

Are air compressors and compressors the same equipment?

Answer:

Linear compressor adopts magnetic suspension principle and spiral ring hydro mechanical structure to compress gas and provide power for refrigeration.
Compressor (compressor), a driven fluid machine that promotes low-pressure gas as a high pressure gas, is the heart of a refrigeration system. It is of low temperature and low pressure refrigerant gas suction pipe from the suction, through the operation of the motor drives the piston to compress it after high temperature and high pressure refrigerant gas discharge pipe to the exhaust, to provide power for the refrigeration cycle, so as to realize the compression and condensation (exothermic), expansion and evaporation (endothermic) refrigeration cycle.
Compressor, piston compressor, screw compressor, centrifugal compressor, linear compressor, etc.. The piston compressor is usually composed of a shell, an electric motor, a cylinder, a piston, a control device (a starter and a heat protector) and a cooling system. The cooling methods include oil cooling and air cooling, and three kinds of natural cooling. The linear compressor has no shaft, no cylinder, seal and heat dissipation structure.The compressor of general household refrigerators and air conditioners uses single-phase alternating current as the power supply. Their structure and principle are basically the same, but the refrigerants used are different.
The air compressor is used to produce compressed air machine, also called compressed air machine, compressor driven by a motor directly, make the crankshaft rotating, the piston connecting rod is driven to make reciprocating movement, causing the cylinder volume change.The air compressor is the base of product of modern industry, electrical and automation is often said that there is full pneumatic meaning; and the air compressor is to provide power source, pneumatic system is the core equipment of electromechanical drainage main source device, it is the prime mover (usually motor) into mechanical energy conversion device of gas pressure can, is the pressure of compressed air generator.
