In work in any industry that requires a compressor, of course, you must understand the type and function of the compressor.
This is one of the big challenges for most engineers.
Especially if you do not have all the information about compressors and have no experience using compressors in a job. Because of the many types of compressors on the market, each air compressor can be used in various applications. In addition, compressors also have the ability to provide power to a variety of tools and equipment. So that the selection of compressors is very important in every industry. In the auto repair industry, compressors are designed to be belt-driven which is one type of mechanical compressor. This type of compressor uses the concept of a conventional air conditioning (AC) system in a car. The compressor is connected to the engine crankshaft through a beltdriven system. The compressor works by using energy from the engine, therefore the workload is imposed on the engine due to the use of this type of compressor in the air conditioning system. (Zulkifli, AA, et al. 2015. Impact of the electric compressor for automotive air conditioning system on fuel consumption and performance analysis, 3rd International Conference of Mechanical Engineering Research; Pg.2) The selection of DC compressors or mini electric compressors in car air-conditioning systems shows that the use of electricity can improve performance much better. This type of compressor was chosen for the auto repair industry because it is much better to use than other types of compressors even though the cabin temperature distribution and cooling effect produced by the air conditioner system is much better than other types of compressors. DC compressor will decrease. This compressor will also consume fuel from electrical energy to be able to drive the compressor. There are many parts of theory including thermodynamics as the basic theory of gas compression, comparison of several types of compressors, sizing theory, and formulations for compressor design. There are many equations found to determine the compressor size, therefore practical equations (based on ideal conditions) and commonly used equations are added in the design guidelines of this type of compressor. In automobiles, a key principle is to have an automotive air conditioning system that serves to dissipate heat from the passenger compartment to the ambient air. This is similar to portable air conditioners that are used to provide a cooling effect for a limited space size. Why in a car cooling system more always need portable electric compressor? This is because this type of compressor has a working principle in the operation of automotive portable air conditioning systems and is integrated alternately without interfering with each other. To achieve this, the length of the compressor shaft is extended so that additional pulleys, drive plates, and coil clutches can be installed. (Ishak Ikman, et al.2016.
