compressors
Air tank fillers
Compressors are machines that reduce volume by applying pressure.
An air compressor forces air into a smaller space, storing it under pressure for tools and equipment.
A gas compressor moves natural gas through pipelines.
In audio, a compressor reduces the dynamic range of sound, evening out loud and quiet passages: The vocals need more compression.
Refrigerators and air conditioners use compressors to circulate coolant.
