BASSIC TYPES OF COMPRESSOR
Positive Displacement Compressor:
A type of compressor that delivers a fixed volume of
air at high pressures. Common types of positive
displacement compressors include
piston/reciprocating compressors and rotary screw
compressors.
Dynamic Compressor:
A type of compressor that delivers larger volumes of
air at lower pressures. Common types of dynamic
compressors include centrifugal and axial
compressors.
