An air compressor (referred to as an air compressor) is a device used to compress gas. Air compressors are similar in construction to water pumps. Most air compressors are reciprocating pistons, rotating blades or rotating screws, while centrifugal air compressors are very large applications. The demand for air compressors varies from industry to industry.

1. The power industry
Main applications: compressed air systems for instruments, compressed air systems for ash removal, and compressed air systems for factory miscellaneous uses. Water treatment includes boiler make-up water treatment and industrial wastewater treatment systems. There are also compressed air systems for equipment power in hydropower stations.
Chemical fiber industry
  
Main uses: The cotton spinning industry mainly uses clean compressed air as a power source, which requires higher oil content; the chemical fiber industry mainly uses instrument gas and suction gun gas, and printing and dyeing mainly uses power and instrument gas.

2. Light Industry
1). Food and beverage: gas is used for non-contact, indirect contact and direct contact. The scroll compressor can provide air source, such as cleaning cans and beverage bottles; direct contact: such as raw material stirring, fermentation, etc., which requires high oil content and requires deodorization of compressed air.
  
2). Pharmaceutical industry: non-contact is mainly used for power execution and instrument gas. Direct contact is due to large gas volume and stable gas consumption. At the same time, high air quality is required. Centrifugal type is generally used. If the gas volume is not large, a scroll machine can be used Add post-processor, or choose oil-free screw.

3). Cigarette industry: Compressed air is the main power source other than electricity. It is generally used in wire injection equipment, cigarette rolls, connection and packaging equipment, and also used in instrumentation, power execution, and equipment cleaning.
  
4), rubber and plastic products: mainly used for power execution, instrument gas, plastic is also used for bottle blowing process.
Metallurgical industry 
  
3. Metallurgical industry is divided into iron and steel industry, non-ferrous metal smelting and manufacturing industry
1). Iron and steel industry: mainly power execution, instrument gas, and purging instruments.
2). Smelting and manufacturing of non-ferrous metals: mainly used for power execution, instrument gas, spraying, etc.

4. Transportation
Pneumatic devices such as brakes for trains, lane changing devices for railroad tracks, opening and closing of vehicle doors and windows, automatic control of subways, automatic equipment for ships, maintenance of aircrafts, inflation of automobile hovercrafts, loading and unloading of terminals, etc. are widely used.
  
5. Aerospace Industry
In addition to the ability of the pneumatic device to withstand radiation and high temperatures, it can also withstand large acceleration speeds, so it has gradually been widely used in the control of modern aircraft, rockets, and missiles.

6. Military and chemical enterprises
It has been widely used in the transportation of chemical raw materials, the filling of harmful liquids, the packaging of explosives, the automatic control devices of torpedoes, the automation equipment of ships, and oil drilling and production.
  
7. Electronics, experiment, precision instrument industry
It plays a great role in the production of some high-precision electronic products, the experimental test process, the control and detection of precision instruments.
  
Other industries
Such as car repairs, airports, hospitals, large playgrounds, etc., their uses are different.
