In this article, I will share with you the working principle of a sliding vane (sliding blade/rotary vane) air compressor. The first thing you have to know about a sliding vane air compressor is that it’s a rotary type of compressor. This type of compressor has rotors in the place of a piston, … Read more
Air blowers are compressors except that they work under a very low pressure compared to the main compressors (rotary and reciprocating). They are called blowers because the compression ratios they offer are small, they are about 3 to 1 or less. Air blowers are small in size compared to compressors simply because they … Read more
