A "컴프레서" (compressor) is a device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. It is commonly used in various applications, such as in air conditioning systems, refrigeration, and industrial processes. Compressors can be powered by electricity, gasoline, or other energy sources, and they play a crucial role in moving gases through pipelines and systems. There are different types of compressors, including 피스톤 컴프레서 (piston compressors), 스크류 컴프레서 (screw compressors), and 로타리 컴프레서 (rotary compressors). Each type operates on different principles and is suited for specific tasks. Compressors are essential in many industries, including manufacturing, automotive, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning).
