COMPRESSOR AND PUMP

GROUP 1
COMPRESSOR
SYMBOL

- a pneumatic, mechanical device that

significantly boosts gas pressure by
minimizing its volume.

- essential in many industries and

applications, from refrigeration and air
conditioning to manufacturing processes
and in the operation of tools and
machinery.

COMPRESSOR
- a compression system that
traps air in a fixed space,
then applies external force to
compress the volume to
acquire pressure.

accelerates air flow and
converts the flow rate into
pressure.

Hydraulic and Pneumatic
Counterparts

Key differences
• Hydraulics use liquid (oil or water-based
fluid), while Pneumatics use compressed air
or gas.
• Hydraulics operate at higher pressure for
heavy-duty applications, while pneumatics
work at lower pressure and are suitable for
lightweight, fast-moving applications.
• Pneumatic systems are faster but generate
less force, whereas hydraulic systems
provide greater force but operate slower.
• Pneumatics are cleaner (no risk of oil
leakage), making them ideal for food,
pharmaceutical, and automation industries.
Hydraulics require more maintenance due to
potential fluid leaks.
• Hydraulics: Used in construction
equipment, aircraft controls, heavy
machinery. Pneumatics: Found in air tools,
automation, robotics, medical devices,
PUMP
SYMBOL

- Transports fluids such as water, oil, or

gas, from one place to another.

- This transfers fluids by converting the

mechanical energy of the fluid into
pressure energy (hydraulic energy).

PUMP
- work by increasing
pressure and decreasing

to move the fluid from one
point to the other.

DYNAMIC PUMP
- also known as kinetic
pumps, work by adding
kinetic energy to the fluid,
which is then converted to
pressure energy.

pistons are driven by a cam or
crankshaft that rotates.
DYNAMIC PUMP

Centrifugal Pump
The most commonly used in the world. They are mostly used for
low supply levels and relatively large flows, which is why they are not
often employed in hydraulics

Axial Flow Pump

Use an axial impeller to move fluid parallel to the pump shaft.
Unlike a centrifugal pump, this pump does not alter the flow
direction of the working fluid.

Mixed Flow Pump

Combine features of centrifugal and axial flow pumps. This works by
sucking air through a rotating impeller.
 We use pumps in a wide variety of situations
APPLICATIONS to move fluids (liquids or gases) from one

in pressure to achieve the desired flow.

Counterparts

Key differences

• Hydraulic Pumps move liquid , while

Pneumatic Pumps move air or gas.
• Hydraulics operate at high pressure,
while pneumatics function at lower
pressure.
• Pneumatic pumps often store
compressed air in a receiver tank,
whereas hydraulic pumps continuously
circulate fluid through the system.
