what is an air compressor, parts of an air compressor







What is an air compressor?

Air compressors are machines.  They provide power to all types of machinery.  Some of the places that use air compressors are:







Dry cleaners

Food manufacturing plants

Schools

Car repair facilities

Hotels

Hospitals

Prisons

General manufacturing

Stone and granite companies

Airlines







Concrete plants

Office buildings

Factories

Thinking about it, most industries use air compressors as a form of energy.  Every bag of potato chips; almost every pneumatic tool and most manufacturing facilities use air to run their facilities.  It would be hard pressed to find some industry that doesn’t use air!!










what are the parts of an air compressor?



The basic components of the air compressor are 
1. The electric motor         

2. The pump
Compressor Pump:


The pump compresses the air and discharges it into the receiver. Two-stage air compressors have a minimum of two pump cylinders. By compressing the air twice, first in a larger, low pressure cylinder, then in a smaller, high pressure cylinder, two-stage compressors can produce pressures.

An electric Motor powers the compressor pump. The motor then drives a pulley via one or two belts, which help in transferring power from motors to the pump pistons through a flywheel and crankshaft 







 






WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR COMPRESSOR MOTOR?


1. Do you have single or 3 phase coming into your building?

2. What horsepower do you have?

3. What is the frame size of your motor?

4. What is the RPM on the motor?

5. What voltage do you need?  230/ 480?

6. For some motors, you will need to know the shaft size.

Here is the #1 best selling air compressor motor and size.

YOU CAN USUALLY TELL A 3 PHASE MOTOR FROM A SINGLE PHASE MOTOR BY JUST LOOKING AT THE MOTOR.

for example: a 1 phase motor typically has the run time and start capacitors on the outside of the motor.  While a 3 phase motor will have the capacitors enclosed inside the motor.  In the picture below, you can definitely see the run time and start capacitors on top of the motor.  Although they are enclosed, probably so you don't shock yourself, regardless, they are outside the motor.


BALDOR 5HP/ 184T/ 1800RPM

THIS IS A SINGLE PHASE MOTOR.  SEE THE BOX ON TOP OF THE MOTOR.  IT HOUSES THE RUN TIME AND START CAPACITORS.








THIS IS A 3 PHASE MOTOR.  LOOK.  NO BOX.  THE RUN AND START CAPACITORS ARE ENCLOSED INSIDE THE MOTOR:







JUST AN FYI: ON ALMOST EVERY MOTOR IS A SMALL PLATE ON EITHER THE TOP OF THE MOTOR OR ON THE SIDE OF THE MOTOR WITH VALUABLE INFORMATION.  IF YOU ARE REPLACING THE MOTOR YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW SOME OF THE BASIC INFORMATION SUCH AS:

HP (HORESPOWER)
RPM (ROTATIONS PER MINUTE)
FR (FRAME SIZE)
VOLT (VOLTAGE)
PH (PHASE...SINGLE OR 3 PHASE)



At H&K, we repair and sell all types of compressor motors.
