Positive Displacement Compressors
There are many different types of compressors. These types can be broken into categories based on their principle of operation. The first and most fundamental classification is whether a compressor is a positive displacement or dynamic compressor. This module will briefly cover the difference between these two types of compressors and then concentrate on the principles of operation and different designs of positive displacement compressors.
