AIR COMPRESSOR MACHINE

 An air compressor is a pneumatic device that converts power (using an electric motor,

diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in pressurized air (i.e.,
compressed air). By one of several methods, an air compressor forces more and more
air into a storage tank, increasing the pressure. When the tank's pressure reaches its
engineered upper limit, the air compressor shuts off. The compressed air, then, is held in
the tank until called into use.[1] The kinetic energy provided by the compressed air can be
used for a variety of applications such as pneumatic tool as it is released air and the tank
depressurizes. When tank pressure reaches its lower limit, the air compressor turns on
again and re-pressurizes the tank. An air compressor must be differentiated from
a pump because it works for any gas/air, while pumps work on a liquid.
AIR COMRPRESSOR USES:

 supplying high-pressure clean air to fill gas cylinders, supplying moderate-pressure

clean air to a submerged surface supplied diver, supplying moderate-pressure clean air
for driving some office and school building pneumatic HVAC control system valves,
supplying a large amount of moderate-pressure air to power pneumatic tools, such
as jackhammers, filling high pressure air tanks (HPA, air tank), for filling tires, and to
produce large volumes of moderate-pressure air for large-scale industrial processes
(such as oxidation for petroleum coking or cement plant bag house purge systems). Air
compressors are also widely used in oil and gas, mining and drilling applications as the
flushing medium, aerating muds in underbalanced drilling and in air pigging of
pipelines.Most air compressors either are reciprocating piston type, rotary vane or rotary
screw. Centrifugal compressors are common in very large applications, while rotary
screw, scroll,[6] and reciprocating air compressors are favored for small and medium
sized applications.
OIL CADDY
 Tired of draining and disposing of used oil the old, messy and time-consuming way? The
OIL CADDY was designed by Valley Engineering Inc. with both the service person and
the environment in mind. The OIL CADDY uses an air diaphragm pump to efficiently
drain oil into its self-contained 96 gallon storage tank. You can then use the OIL CADDY
to cleanly transfer the used oil into your waste oil tank. No more back strain from lifting
heavy buckets - no more slips and falls due to spilled oil! Sturdy and convenient, the OIL
CADDY helps streamline service jobs, reduces the cost of expensive oil spill cleanups,
and helps you comply with today's requirements for an environmentally safe work site
 The OIL CADDY is built for both durability and convenience with solid steel construction
and an explosion-proof 3/4' air diaphragm pump. Heavy-duty solid rubber tires make the
unit easy to move about on rough floors or in the yard. Rectangular tubing sleeves allow
the OIL CADDY to be lifted by a forklift. With a 20-gallon top drain pan and a 7 gallon
remote drain pan, a 96-gallon storage tank and the ability to move large volumes rapidly,
the unit is suitable for nearly any service job. Quick couplers on the hose and drain pan
come standard, allowing the unit to evacuate or discharge through the same hose and
pump via the 4-way valve.
 BATTERY CHARGER
 A battery charger is a device used to put energy into a secondary
cell or rechargeable battery by forcing an electric current through it.
The charging protocol depends on the size and type of the battery
being charged. Some battery types have high tolerance for
overcharging and can be recharged by connection to a constant
voltage source or a constant current source; simple chargers of this
type require manual disconnection at the end of the charge cycle, or
may have a timer to cut off charging current at a fixed time. Other
battery types cannot withstand long high-rate over-charging; the
charger may have temperature or voltage sensing circuits and a
microprocessor controller to adjust the charging current, and cut off at
the end of charge. A trickle charger provides a relatively small
amount of current, only enough to counteract self-discharge of a
battery that is idle for a long time. Slow battery chargers may take
several hours to complete a charge; high-rate chargers may restore
most capacity within minutes or less than an hour, but generally
require monitoring of the battery to protect it from overcharge. Electric
vehicles need high-rate chargers for public access; installation of
such chargers and the distribution
support for them is an issue in the proposed adoption of electric cars.
 A battery charger, or recharger, is a device that stores energy in
a battery by running an electric current through it. The charging
protocol (how much voltage or current for how long, and what to do
when charging is complete) depends on the size and type of the
battery being charged. Some battery types have high tolerance
for overcharging (i.e., continued charging after the battery has been
fully charged) and can be recharged by connection to a constant
voltage source or a constant current source, depending on battery
type. Simple chargers of this type must be manually disconnected at
the end of the charge cycle. Other battery types use a timer to cut off
when charging should be complete. Other battery types cannot
withstand over-charging, becoming damaged (reduced capacity,
reduced lifetime), over heating or even exploding. The charger may
have temperature or voltage sensing circuits and a microprocessor
controller to safely adjust the charging current and voltage, determine
the state of charge, and cut off at the end of charge.
 ENGINE HOIST
 An engine crane (also referred
as engine hoist[1]) is a common
repair tool used in vehicle repair
shops to remove or
install gasoline or diesel engines in
small and crowded vehicle engine
compartments. It uses a heavy
cantilevered support structure to hold
the engine in mid-air so that the
mechanic can carefully connect or
disconnect fragile hoses and wires on
the engine to the frame of the
vehicle.
 The engine crane is commonly used
in combination with the engine
stand so that the removed engine
can be rotated in midair to provide
access to underside surfaces of the engine.

Types Of Engine Cranes

Engine cranes/hoists have three commonly used types: hydraulic hoists, chain hoists, and electric
chain hoists. The type of engine crane is chosen based on the amount of weight the user is lifting, cost,
and convenience.

Hydraulic Hoist
The most commonly used engine crane is the hydraulic hoist. The simplicity of a hydraulic hoist also
makes this hoist the most economical engine crane. A hydraulic hoist is generally made of an adjustable
arm, hydraulic jack, frame, and a set of legs. The crane arm, with multiple lengths and weight capacities,
has a hook on the end that connects a chain to the engine. The arm of the hydraulic engine hoist raises
and lowers with the use of a hydraulic jack, which is operated with a bar that pumps the hydraulic jack to
raise the arm. To lower the arm, pressure is released from the hydraulic jack. To support the hydraulic
arm, a frame with a set of legs stabilizes the weight of the engine. Most hydraulic engine cranes have
casters, which help to efficiently relocate the engine crane.

Chain Hoist
Chain hoists are ceiling-mounted engine cranes that are often slower than hydraulic hoists and electric
chain hoists. Chain hoists utilize a system of gears and chains to multiply forces that are produced when
the operator is pulling the chain to lift the engine. A braking system prevents the engine from
unintentionally lowering by the user. Chain hoists are often inexpensive and easy to operate but do
require the chain hoist to be mounted, unlike a movable hydraulic hoist.

Electric Chain Hoist

The electric chain hoist, also known as the "electric hoist", is the least used type of engine crane. The
operation is similar to the chain hoist in the way that chains are used to lift the engine. The electric chain
hoist uses an electric motor operated by remote control to lift the engine, unlike the chain hoist where the
operator has to manually pull a chain. Although the electric chain hoist is faster in operation, this hoist is
also more costly than a chain hoist.

BREAK DRUM LATHE

 Brake Drum Lathe is the widely used

machine tool to process or repair the
brake drum, brake disc and flywheel
surface of automobile cars or light trucks.
It has the characteristics of high
performance and easy to use.
A machine to refinish the inside of
a brake drum.

 Brake lathe is an efficient tool for curing noise and vibration problems, often
prolonging the life of brake systems. Basically, brake lathes corrects thickness
variations on the rotor, a common condition caused either by one of two things:
Chronic, uneven contact of the brake pad on the rotor surface Rust on the rotor
surface (from extended or frequent contact with road salt or other corrosive
contaminants).

There are two types of brake lathes

 An on-car lathe often does a reliable job, because it’s installed in the same
position as the brake caliper, basically mimicking the movement of the wheel with
regard to the car’s calibrations. This provides the most accurate resurfacing
possible.
 For an off-car lathe or bench lathe, the rotor is removed from the car and
mounted to the lathe. This type of lathe relies more on its own alignment, which
is easily thrown out of spec from damage or frequent use. At best, a misaligned
lathe will provide merely acceptable resurfacing; at worst, it might score or
damage the rotor beyond the point it can be resurfaced.
 AIR CONDITIONING MACHINE

 Air conditioning can be defined as the

treatment of indoor air in order to control
certain conditions required for human
comfort. The desirable conditions may be
temperature, humidity, dust particle level,
odor level, and air motion.

 It is known that the physical properties of air can be controlled by cooling,

heating, humidification, and dehumidification. These processes may be
employed to maintain specific conditions desirable for comfort. Thus,
simultaneous control of temperature, humidity, air motion, and cleanliness is
known as air conditioning.
 To keep our environment to our desired temperature, the air conditioning system
is the device that helps us achieve that. The system is so common that one can
experience its effect anywhere we enter. It can be installed in our house, office,
cars, even a modern religious centre now have it. in short, it can be used in both
domestic and commercial environments
 Air conditioning is often referred to as aircon, AC or A/C. it features a fan that
distributes the conditioned air to the enclosed space. The enclosed space is
often building and car.
