A compressor increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume through mechanisms like pistons or rotating elements. It is utilized in applications such as refrigeration, air conditioning, and industrial machinery. Compressors operate on principles like positive displacement and dynamic compression for efficient energy transfer.

Working Principle of a Compressor

A compressor works by increasing the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. It draws in air or gas, compresses it using a piston (in reciprocating compressors)
or rotating elements like screws or blades (in rotary and centrifugal compressors), and then delivers it at a higher pressure. This process is used in various
applications, such as refrigeration, air conditioning, pneumatic tools, and industrial machinery. Compressors operate based on different principles, including
positive displacement (trapping and compressing air) and dynamic compression (accelerating and diffusing air to increase pressure), ensuring efficient energy
transfer and continuous operation.
