▶️Introduction

Air compressors are used for various applications to provide air at pressure. Typical service and control air systems require air at approx. 7 bar (87 psi). Air systems are used to power hand tools (air tools), start combustion engines, spray paint work, and for general cleaning applications. This video shows:

- How piston air compressors work.
- What designs of compressor are commonly available.
- Typical applications of air compressors.
- What components and parts are used to make an air compressor function.

Enjoy!

*Construction seemed sturdier than other units I considered **MyBest.Tools** Noise level was reasonable. Good pressure and cfm capacity for a small reasonably light compressor.*

As an apprentice marine engineer, I thank you the most for your videos! Great content! 🎉

[anwarmumit]

You are the most generous person ever.
Thanks for such learnings.

[moayaddaghles]

Few channels only i give them like without looking what is the topic even.... Good luck and thank you for your efforts

[Epitopi]

Great animation, easily understood as someone in the healthcare field.

[gholamalialmasi]

Thank you very much for your practical tutorial, it was great.

[ttduong]

thanks. I really like your videos. I'm excited about the series of boiler. Can you make video about industrial air compessor, and industrial refrigeration machine, using NH3? and how to check them regularly like your previous video showing how to check the transformer health

[rolandbouchat]

Very nicely explained with very usefull animation

[rohitgiri]

Salutation to you, you are doing great job, even many big instituite are unable to elobarate in this manner.

[jeanpaulletada]

A big thanks and a big help here from the philippines..kindly explain in animation also regarding Lt and ht cooling of marine diesel engines... thank you!

[michaelangelomag-abo]

Thanks a lot. I am learning a lot of engineering stuff from you💖💖💖💖💖💖`

You should know that Chuck Norris used an air compressor in his youth, then abandoned it because he recharged the tank faster by mouth than with the pump.

He ended up abandoning the compressor and blowing directly on the bolts to unblocked it; it was ultimately more effective

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ thank you so much for this amazing explanation

[p__jay]

so can a 8 bar compressor fill up road bike tires with 10 bar or would you need a higher output compressor?

[ramanjeet]

one question i have, does the air compressor works on the same principle of a bicycle air pump, where there inlet and outlet valves, as in when when u push the inlet valve opens and when u pull the the outlet calve closes...thx

Where have you been in your vacation?
Mechanical Engineer: inside a 2 stage piston compressor 😂
Superb video... perfect explanation 😊

[sinanartemis]

Hi John is is really good to watch your videos.they are wonderful.may I ask can you prepare a video about screw compressor and diesel generator that would be great if you do thanks

[johng]

Thanks in a million. Great content. Awesome. Grade: A++💥

[mec]

can you do a video about marine steering gear in details? specially how the fluid transmits inside the steering gear? and the axial/hale shaw pump mechanism?
