What Is a Compressor?

Energy Machinery, Inc. |

Many industrial processes rely on compressors to increase the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Industries such as HVAC, oil & gas, and more rely on compressors for everyday operations. Compressors work by forcing gas into the chamber where it is pressurized. From there, the pressurized gas is released so it can power […]

Rotary Screw Air Compressor Guide

Energy Machinery, Inc. |

Air compressors are pneumatic devices that increase the pressure of a gas by compressing it into a smaller volume. The kinetic energy contained in the pressurized air can then be used to power various tools and equipment. Based on their method of operation, air compressors can be split into several categories. The most common types […]

All About Desiccant Dryers

tmswebsiteadmin |

All About Desiccant Dryers As compressors draw air into pneumatic systems, they also take in an amount—however small—of moisture. If left unchecked, this moisture can condense and disrupt the performance of the system downstream. Additionally, it can lead to the corrosion of systems components and growth and buildup of bacteria. Desiccant dryers are one method […]

Rotary Vane Compressor

Energy Machinery, Inc. |

Rotary Vane Compressor An air compressor converts power from electricity, gas, or other sources into potential energy in the form of pressurized air. The pressurized air can be released in a controlled way to provide the kinetic energy needed for its given application. In principle, an air compressor’s design is relatively straightforward. Air is brought […]

Positive Displacement Blower

Energy Machinery, Inc. |

Positive Displacement Blower Positive displacement blowers, or rotary blowers, circulate air by pulling a certain volume of gas into the rotary chamber and then pushing it out. Manufacturing and processing facilities use these blowers for a variety of applications, including aeration, vacuum processing, air extraction, and cleaning.  There are multiple types of blowers that can […]

Refrigerated Air Dryers

Energy Machinery, Inc. |

Compressed air can be damaging to applications that require moisture-free air. Atmospheric air that enters an air compressor intake contains water vapor. While in the air compressor, heat from compression and pressurization forces water vapor to condense into liquid droplets. These droplets travel downstream and can ruin your products, air tools, cylinders, and air motors. […]

Variable Speed Compressors

Energy Machinery, Inc. |

Rotary screw air compressors controlled by VSDs (variable speed drives) are one of the best energy efficient industrial innovation introduced in the past few years. The style of air compressor control can reduce energy wasted by compressors running in the unloaded condition exponentially. Variable speed air compressors are ideal for plants that have fluctuating […]
