English

Subject field(s)
  • Compressors

A device that raises the pressure of a compressible fluid, such as air or gas.

CONT

Compressors create a pressure differential in order to move or compress a vapor or a gas, consuming power in the process. They may be broadly classified as positive-displacement or non-positive displacement machines according to whether or not there is incorporated in the compressor a mechanism functioning in the manner of a check valve to separate the high-pressure discharge from the low-pressure suction.

CONT

Every assembly of pipes, pipe fittings, valves, safety devices, rumps, compressors and other fixed equipment that is used for transferring a dangerous substance from one location to another shall be ... fitted with ... control and safety devices to ensure its safe operation ...

OBS

compressor: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).
