DESCRIPTION OF MECHANISM
Compressor are similar to pumps both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe.
Parts of Compressor
Electric Motor
The electric motor powers the compressor pump. The motor drive a pulley and two belts, which transfer power from the motor to the pump pistons via flywheel and a crank shaft. The flywheel fan helps cool the compressor pump.
Compressor Pump
The pump compresses the air and discharges it into the receiver. Two-stage air compressors have a minimum of two pump cylinders.
Receiver
The receiver (tank) stores the compressed air A check valve at the receiver inlet prevents the compressed air in the receiver from flowing back Into the compressor pump.
Pressure Switch When the air pressure in the receiver reaches the factory-set limit, the pressure switch shuts down the motor. As compressed air Is used and the pressure level in the tank drops to a pre-set level, the pressure switch restarts the motor and the compressor resumes pumping air.
Air Pressure Regulation
The air pressure gauge on the pressure switch measures air pressure inside the receiver, not pressure in the airline.
Shut-Off Valves
Install shut-off valves in each drop line, to isolate the too land Its accessories for servicing You can also Install a bypass line around an accessory

DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS:
Process how to operate a compressor: 1. -------------------------------------------------
Ensure no slip/trip hazards are present in workspaces and walkways. 2. -------------------------------------------------
Locate the compressor in a suitable location for safe operation. 3. -------------------------------------------------
Lock the wheels on the base of the compressor to prevent movement. 4.
