Global Gas Compressors Market

A gas compressor can be defined as a mechanical device that is used to compress the gas by increasing its pressure and reducing its volume. Compression of gas results in its temperature rise. The phenomenon follows Boyle's law.The gas compressor converts mechanical energy into pneumatic energy with the help of pistons, vanes, and other mechanisms. An air compressor is a distinct type of gas compressor. Compressed air and gas is a source of energy, which finds applications in the manufacturing, petroleum, chemical, power, mining, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.
