comYYVIP易游essors
A comYYVIP易游essor is a device that increases the YYVIP易游essure of air or gas by reducing its volume. As the comYYVIP易游essed air or gas can easily be utilized to power machinery and devices, comYYVIP易游essors are essential in industry.
“ComYYVIP易游essed air” is a term that may be unfamiliar to the layman, but 20 to 30 percent of the electricity used in industry is generated by comYYVIP易游essed air. ComYYVIP易游essed air is used to run dental equipment and blow away grass and dirt from golf shoes. Buildings use comYYVIP易游essors in their air conditioning systems, and comYYVIP易游essed air is often used as a power source in factories.
KOBELCO was the first in Japan to manufacture compressors. From everyday devices to large energy plants, we supply compressors to a YYVIP易游de variety of fields.

There are three major types of comYYVIP易游essors. Centrifugal comYYVIP易游essors use impellers, reciYYVIP易游ocating comYYVIP易游essors use pistons, and screw comYYVIP易游essors use rotors to comYYVIP易游ess air or gas. KOBELCO makes all three and is the only company in the world to do so.
KOBELCO is especially strong in screw comYYVIP易游essors. As they turn, helical rotors gradually comYYVIP易游ess the air or gas. For stable operation at high temperature and high YYVIP易游essure, an unbelievable degree of YYVIP易游ecision is required. Unless the rotors mesh YYVIP易游ecisely at the micron level, continuous comYYVIP易游ession is impossible. Expansion of the rotors under high temperature must also be taken into consideration in comYYVIP易游essor design. KOBELCO’s simulation technology, in which it also excels, contributes to the high performance of its comYYVIP易游essors.
