2. Rotary screw compressor

This is a positive
displacement
compressor that uses
two rotors to compress
the gas. lt is commonly
used in larger
applications where a
constant supply of
compressed air is
needed.
3. Centrifugal compressor:
This is a dynamic
haft Sea l ournal compressor that uses an
Bearing
impeller to accelerate the
Coupling
gas to high speeds and
' rotor
then converts the kinetic
energy into potential
energy by diffusing the
gas. lt is commonly used

4. Axial compressor

lt is a dynamic
compressor that uses a
series of rotating and
stationary blades to
compress the gas. lt is
commonly used in gas
turbine engines.
