Drive A coupling between the compressor and the engine or motor. Dropleg Is a pipe coming from the top of the airline to feed air to an outlet for tools or air operated devices, so that condensation does not easily flow into the dropleg. Friction against duct walls, internal friction in the air mass and direction variations will cause a speed reduction and are therefore called dynamic losses. Dynamic type compressors Machines in which air or gas is compressed by the mechanical action of rotating vanes or impellers imparting velocity and pressure to the flowing medium. Is the force in newton required to move a fluid layer of one square meter area and a thickness of one meter with a velocity of one meter per second.
Compressor is operated at full load or idle.
This term refers to the hardness or softness of gaskets. The amount of atmospheric dust which a filter will capture.
