Types of air Compressor

Air-cooled compressors need a sufficient supply of cooling air for the inlet and enough space for the discharge. Improper ventilation is almost always the cause of temperature regulation issues and can lead to equipment failures and downtime.

An evaporative cooler (also swamp cooler, desert cooler and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water. Evaporative cooling differs from typical air conditioning systems, which use vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycles.

Typically, a water-cooled compressor will have a slightly lower specific power (kW/100 cfm) than an air-cooled compressor—this means it’s a bit more efficient. You can compare specific performance values by looking at the compressors’ CAGI data sheets.
