Compressed Air; It is considered the fourth most frequently used auxiliary resource in the industry, after electricity, natural gas and water. Compressed air is obtained by compressing atmospheric air by a compressor. Compressors can be categorized in different ways.

​

​According to working pressure, ''Low Pressure Compressors'', ''Medium Pressure Compressors'' And''High Pressure Compressors''While it is categorized as   'in itself''Oil-Free Compressor'' (oil-free compressor) or''Oil Compressor''It can be classified as (oil injected compressor).

​

However, there are 3 basic compressor types widely used in the industry;''Piston Compressor'', ''Screw Compressor'' And''Turbo Compressor'' (centrifugal compressor).

In cases where operating pressure above 16 bar is required, reciprocating compressors are the only alternative. Between 6 and 10 bars, screw and turbo compressors are more efficient. In applications below 3.5 bar, preferences are generally''Blower'' direction.

 

''Oilfree Oil-Free Compressors'It is used extensively in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Although the air obtained from oil-filled screw compressors can be delivered to oil-free compressor air quality with the right conditioning equipment; In order to minimize risks, the use of oil-free compressors is preferred over oil-free compressors.

​

''Turbo Compressors''They are oil-free compressors due to their structure. Even if it is not necessary to use an oil-free compressor, it can save a large amount of energy in places where there is a high fixed amount of air consumption, as its specific energy value is low.

​

In need of air production or air storage at high pressure; Reciprocating compressors are used in application areas such as diesel engine start-up air, hydroelectric power plants and switching stations. In the beverage industry, 25-40 bar for PET blowing''Oil-Free Piston Compressor''Its use is very common.

​

called Buster"Booster Compressors"In terms of structure, they are not much different from normal compressors. While compressors generally perform pressurization by absorbing ambient air at atmospheric pressure, booster compressors are used to raise gases coming at a certain pressure to higher pressures.
