Abstract Air compressors, a key fluid power technology, play an essential role in industrial plants and office buildings, hospitals, other types of facilities. The efficient use the air compressor is crucial. By controlling unnecessary inefficiencies, high energy consumption can be reduced. This study aims to provide exergy analysis on compressors for different industries. Detailed case studies...

The air compressor plays an extremely important role in the production of air separation. It provides the required specifications of compressed air for the follow-up air separation processes. It is difficult for an air compressor system to achieve the on-site production requirements because it is a time-varying, delay and nonlinear complex system. Articles for air compressor control system desi...

The key component of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system is an air compressor/expander. The roundtrip efficiency of this energy storage technology depends greatly on the efficiency of the air compressor/expander. There is a trade off between the thermal efficiency and power density of this component. Different ideas and approaches were introduced and studied in the previous works to imp...
