Gas compressor
From GAWDAwiki
A gas compressor is a machine that increases the pressure of a gas or vapor by increasing the gas density and delivering the fluid against the connected system resistance.[1]
Gas compressors are used in a wide variety of residential, industrial, and commercial operations on a daily basis. These include moving natural gas through pipes to homes and businesses, transporting heat in refrigeration systems, compressing intake air in gas turbines, and supplying compressed air for vehicular air brakes. Gas compressors are also used to store small volumes of purified gas, to pressurize cabins on aircraft, and to safely store air on submarines.[2]
