message: The heat of a compressed gas does not come from the inefficiany of the machine compressing the gas. I am not sure why you insist on this error but I am not going to get into an edit war with you Mark. 
A great and well respected company to get a compressor from is Ingersoll Rand.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.184.105.10 (talk) 20:26, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I need help. Carrying out an Air Quality Test of air compressed into an SCBA cylinder. The water value reads 180mg/m3. The cylinder is 9kg in size. The Standard required in the vessel where I work (FPSO is 30mg/m3. How is this possible for God's sake! Give me a clue.
The test time is 10 Minutes using Drager kit. The instruction in the water tube is of October 2005. Is there a way of converting mg/m3 to ppm? Pls let me know.

message: I replaced the original photo with a better one of a single-stage centrifugal compressor because I thought the original photo was a rather scruffy looking photo of small portable air compressor.  I think the photo that I used is much cleaner and neater, and more representative of the thousands of compressors in industrial use. If anyone has a better one in color, that would be better yet. - mbeychok 08:03, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that some of us get carried away with providing Wiki links. I just read the Thermal expansion article very thoroughly. It is obviously about the thermal expansion of liquids and solids. I fail to see any relation between that article and this article on Gas compressors.  The lead-in sentence of this article about gas compressors states: A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.
An article about the thermal expansion of liquids or the thermal  expansion joints in bridges and railroads has no absolutely no beneficial connection whatsoever with this article. Wiki links in the "See also" section are meant to point the reader to related articles with some real, beneficial connection to gas compressors.
I also feel the same is true of the link to the Decompression article. It has no connection to gas compressors. I think it behooves all of us, myself included, to be more careful about adding unrelated links to the "See also" section of any articles. What do others think about this subject? - mbeychok 00:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

message: In Turkish version of Wikipedia free Enclylopedia, the "Kompresör" subject (in English "Compressor") your some internal users (of Vikipedi/Turkey) like a guy with Metal Milia nick name and some others, have been spoiling correct information and redirecting the Compressor subject to gas compressors wrongly.
Many times i had corrected the mistake and i had written Compressor subject in Turkish with my 17 years experience on Compresssor production and technical document translation.
I had written a very good atricle and simple but detailed information and explation of compressors, air compressors with my own world and private informtion as free support article to Wikipedia project as i had noticed on the article.
I had prepared the article a mixcing of my expereience and full original principles and information from leading compresıor manufatures. But article was full free and original by me. it was not a copy/paste or copyright violation.
(refencences: BCAS Compresssed Air Guide, Compressed Air Compendium, Turkish Mechanical Engineers Chamber Book "compressors", Compair BroomWade, Cooper Cameron etc. compressor manufacturer's common/publich product information. And of cource, full original information by me... as private..)
I am sure my article was 100% correct and no body could say it as wrong information or details.
At first, somebodies who say we are competent of turkish vikipedia, detletd my article and put a wrong or defective information instead of it.
They wrote me, you did not notice your information page -article- has GNU GPL. I wrote them, my article is full free by me... I tis nly by me... Ther is not need to declare GNU GPL because of wikipedia author of information is me, and it is only a wikipedşia subect there is no copy of it in anywhere expet wikipedia itself...
Even if I say, my article is recent best explanation in compressor subject in Turkish, you must support it with images and other corrections.
due to possible competition purpose (to prevent common access to information by me) -these guys may be working for competitor companies in Turkey which are manufactiring compressors as comperetior to the company which i am working for...) [ Even if i dont do advertisment of the comany... They -may be- want to prevent customers access to me by this article... ]
"kompresör" keyword is under common advertisment request in google search motor. And turkish "kompresör" subject of wikipedia encylopedia is on the first page of the searched/found pages.
Before they spoiled the article... It was a link to my non-professional web ste sections in non-profession singlix web site. These web pages have information about compresors and compressed air.
So, at the beginning of the compretition attack they erased thesinglix web site kompresor section link on wikipedia "kompresör" article...
Then they eraded the complete arti,cle and they put a wrong and short (defective) article instead of full usefull information on engineering level. The current information is just a like a first school explation of compressors. But, we know the information oabout compressors is needed by engineers and technicians, commonly... (Compressor information is not a first school or children lesson subject, so it was prepared by experinced engineers.)
I am an experienced mechanical engineer and expert on Compressors and compressed air subjects.
I am very sad due to somedies deleted my article without honesty or without sicientific/technologic correction requirements.
In Turkey, usually, non qualified and non sufficent people have competent rights. Just as yout turkish vikiedy editors (competent users) Metal Militia and others who write compessor or gas compressors article without what is compressors and gas compressors, enoughly.
Please interfe to turjish vikipedi project against the wrong staff employment/organizationing/building.
Also, i would like to see correct information on "kompresör" subject just as i had written on/about it. on Wikipedia pages...
Regards... Erdogan Tan

message: The section says: 
:"The rotating aerofoils, also known as blades or rotors, decelerate and pressurise the fluid. The stationary aerofoils, also known as a stators or vanes, turn and decelerate the fluid; preparing and redirecting the flow for the rotor blades of the next stage."  
Shouldn't it say (in the first sentence) that the rotating blades accelerate the fluid? 24.6.66.193 (talk) 04:34, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Anyone familiar with a compressor type called a guided rotor compressor?   
I found a reasonablly detailed description of what sounds like a new compressor technology at http://www.grcompressor.com/ while researching a rolling piston compressor.   The GRC is described as being similar to a Wankle engine design, but using a "envoluted trochoid".    Rolling piston designs are getting significant attention in the literature, the guided rotor compressor I find less on.

message: It seems that the quasiturbine for use as a compressor -entry seems to be removed by Andy Dingley. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gas_compressor&oldid=441172211 Given that it's a 80% efficient motor, it should be a very efficient compressor aswell, so simply stating that it's "un-noteworthy" is quite frankly nothing less than an insult to the Saint-Hilaire family.

message: "Heat of compression" is not good terminology.  "Temperature rise from compression" is better.  Work is done on the gas, changing the state, and the temperature is a property of the new state.  This can and is usually done without the addition of heat.  After compression, the gas could be isentropically expanded, and work could be produced without heat transfer.  In that case, where's the heat?  The answer is "there wasn't any to begin with."  It's energy.  Just sayin'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.46.176.194 (talk) 15:43, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
