Piston Air Compressors and Screw Air Compressors are two different types of Air compressors that work on different principles and have different applications.
Piston Air Compressors
Piston air compressors, also known as reciprocating compressors, work by compressing air with the help of pistons and cylinders. The piston moves up and down in the cylinder, creating a vacuum on the down stroke and compressing air on the upstroke. This compressed air is then stored in a tank and can be used for various applications.
Piston air compressors are generally smaller in size and have a lower capacity than screw air compressors. They are often used in smaller workshops, garages, and homes, where a smaller amount of compressed air is needed. They are also used in applications where the compressed air needs to be at a high pressure, such as in pneumatic tools.
Screw Air Compressors
Screw air compressors work by using two rotors (screws) that rotate in opposite directions. The air is compressed between the two rotors as they rotate. This compressed air is then stored in a tank and can be used for various applications.
Screw air compressors are generally larger in size and have a higher capacity than piston air compressors. They are often used in larger industrial applications, such as in factories, power plants, and oil refineries. They are also used in applications where a continuous supply of compressed air is needed, such as in air conditioning systems.
Overall, the main difference between piston air compressors and screw air compressors is their size and capacity, as well as the applications they are used for. Piston air compressors are generally smaller and used for smaller applications, while screw air compressors are larger and used for larger industrial applications.
