compressor

A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor.
Many compressors can be staged, that is, the gas is compressed several times in steps or stages, to increase discharge pressure. Often, the second stage is physically smaller than the primary stage, to accommodate the already compressed gas without reducing its pressure. Each stage further compresses the gas and increases its pressure and also temperature (if inter cooling between stages is not used).

    The factory compressor blew my fuse!

    Hi all, Just quickly, the MG compressor that came with my car was pumping up my tyre for about 2 minutes when it stopped working. On inspection it blew my 12v fuse. In contact with MG awaiting a reply, kind of ridiculous, must be a faulty compressor or if someone else can enlighten me why this...
