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
