Functionality: Compressors draw in air, compress it, and store it in a tank for controlled release. Some types are oil-lubricated, while others are oil-free.
Types: Common types include piston (reciprocating) compressors, rotary screw compressors, and centrifugal compressors.
Power & Capacity: Varies by model—from small portable units with 0.5–2 HP for home use to large industrial machines with tens of HP and high pressure ratings (measured in PSI or bar).
Applications: Automotive workshops, construction, painting, manufacturing, HVAC systems, and home DIY projects.
