SKU: RVI-11178

In order to accomplish useful work with a pneumatic system, we need a device that can supply a sufficient amount of air at a desired pressure. The device that performs this function is called a compressor. In this interactive online course we will describe the principles of air compressor operation and give you details about the types of positive displacement and dynamic air compressors. We will instruct you in identifying compressor capacity and we’ll give you parameters for selecting a compressor system.
