n: a device that raises the pressure of a compressible fluid such as air or gas. Compressors create a pressure differential to move or compress a vapour or a gas, consuming power in the process. They may be positive-displacement compressors or nonpositive-displacement compressors. See centrifugal compressor;jet compressor;reciprocating compressor.

a type of pump that increases the pressure of gas. Commonly used as a production rate increaser by increasing the gas pressure delivered from low pressure gas wells to enter the pipe line. The intake into the compressor lowers the wellhead pressure creati

n: a device employing a venturi nozzle through which a highpressure stream creates a lower pressure or a vacuum into which the gas to be compressed flows. The gas is discharged from the nozzle with the expanded highpressure medium.
