An air compressor is a common air compressed equipment in the industry, an air compressor works as a power source to power some devices in the factory. The air compressors are available in the factory, and on the project site, for automatic equipment. Usually, there are two ways of compressing the air, one type twin screw air compressor and the other is a piston air compressor. The screw air compressor produces the compressed air continuously while the piston air compressor can not do that.
What types of air compressors are there?
There are two types of air compressors, one type is called screw air compressor and there other is called piston. A screw air compressor is used in factories and project sites most where the compressed air is needed in huge quantities and the noise pollution is low. A Piston air compressor is used in a small workshop or home use where the compressed air is needed less. A Piston air compressor is also called a reciprocating air compressor, too.

The working principle of the two types of air compressors.
Here is a brief description of the working mechanism of a screw air compressor is that the two screws will compress the air while they are rotating. The normal air is inhaled from the other end and the compressed air is discharged from the other end; this process is continuous. The working principle of a piston air compressor is easy, the piston is reciprocating in the cylinder and this will complete the process of inhaling the air and compressing the air, but it is unstable compared to the screw air compressors.
What is the price of an air compressor?
The price of an air compressor depends on the model, the screw air compressor is a little expensive since it produces the compressed air continuously, and the screw air compressor meets the needs of a huge quantity of compressed air. The piston air compressor is cheap, piston air compressor comes with an air receiver tank, the piston air compressor will compress the air into the air receiver tank then we can use it.
