An air-cooled compressor is a type of compressor that uses air as the cooling medium to dissipate heat generated during the compression process. It typically consists of a compressor unit and a cooling system. Piston type Compressor Unit
The compressor unit compresses the air or gas to increase its pressure and temperature. As the air is compressed, heat is generated due to the increase in pressure. This heat needs to be dissipated to prevent the compressor from overheating and causing damage.Screw type Compressor Unit
The cooling system in an air-cooled compressor usually consists of finned heat exchangers or radiators. Refrigeration Project and Construction These heat exchangers are designed to maximize the surface area for heat transfer and are typically located on the exterior of the compressor unit. Air is forced over the heat exchangers by fans, which helps to cool the compressed air and dissipate the heat. Air Cooled type Condenser Unit
