Nomenclature and Terminology of Screw Air Compressors
Screw-type air compressor
The full name for an air compressor is "air compressor." It is a machine designed on the working principle that gas experiences a volume change due to the rotation of twin screws (also known as male and female rotors). This machine intakes ambient air, which then undergoes several processes internally to complete its operation, ultimately discharging compressed air that meets the required pressure specifications. This machine is referred to as a screw-type air compressor.
