Positive-displacement and dynamic displacement compressors are the two high level principles for the generation of compressed air or gas. Positive displacement types are the most common found in industrial facilities. These units draw ambient air into a chamber which it seals off and then works to compress and squeeze it down into a smaller volume….
As they always say, “big things come in small packages”. Oftentimes, some of the things that have the most value or quality are quite small.

In the 50 years or so since then, the computers with the…
The supply side of a compressed air system has many critical parts that factor in to how well the system operates and how easily it can be maintained. Dryers for the compressed air play a key role within the supply side are available in many form factors and fitments. Today we will discuss heat of…
When the operating air pressure within a manufacturing facility drops it is easily noticed. This is because the equipment that is depending on that air pressure to stay above a set point will generally stop working and halt in an alarm state safely. (This is not always the case and in fact I have personally…
What sound level do you get when you feed an EXAIR Super Air Nozzle at 80psig? What if there are two of them? Or three? Grab your scientific calculators, folks…we’re gonna ‘math’ today! But first, a little explanation of sound power & sound pressure: Strictly speaking, power is defined as energy per unit time, and…
