An air compressor is a machine that converts power into kinetic energy by compressing and pressurizing air, which, on command, can be released in rapid bursts.An air compressor is a device that converts power (using an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in pressurized air. By one of several methods, an air compressor forces more and more air into a storage tank, increasing the pressure. When tank pressure reaches its upper limit the air compressor shuts off. The compressed air, then, is held in the tank until called into use.

The most common type of air compressor is the positive displacement compressor. This type uses a rotating mechanism (such as a piston, rotary screw, vane, etc.) to draw in successive volumes of air that are then compressed to a higher pressure. The compressed air is then released into the storage tank.

Other types of air compressors include centrifugal compressors, which use a rotating impeller to draw in air and compress it, and axial compressors, which use a series of fan blades to draw in and compress air. Air compressors are used in a variety of applications, including powering pneumatic tools, inflating tires, and supplying compressed air for industrial processes. Air compressors are also used in the medical field, for providing compressed air for breathing apparatus, and in the automotive industry, for powering air conditioning systems.

Air compressors come in a variety of sizes and styles, from small, portable units to large, stationary units. They also range in power from small, electric motors to large diesel or gasoline engines. In addition to the air compressor itself, there are a number of other components that make up a complete air compressor system, including air filters, air dryers, air tanks, air regulators, and air hoses. These components work together to ensure that the air compressor system is operating efficiently and safely.
