kompressorien
In Finnish, kompressorien is the genitive plural form of kompressorit, meaning “of the compressors.” More generally, the term refers to machines that increase the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Compressors convert mechanical energy into potential energy of the compressed gas and are used in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, often accompanied by heat generation.
There are two broad categories of compressors: positive-displacement and dynamic. Positive-displacement compressors physically reduce the gas
Applications span HVAC and refrigeration, manufacturing and processing, natural-gas transmission, and tool operation. Smaller units supply
Performance is described by pressure ratio, capacity, and efficiency. Isentropic efficiency, volumetric efficiency, and overall energy
Historically, compressors evolved from early piston machines to advanced rotary and dynamic designs, expanding from workshop
