pressurized air
Air under compression
Pressurized air is air that has been compressed to a pressure higher than the surrounding atmosphere, typically stored in tanks or delivered through systems for various purposes.
It powers pneumatic tools, fills tires and scuba tanks, and operates brakes on trucks and trains.
The mechanic used pressurized air to inflate the tires.
In aircraft, pressurized air maintains breathable cabin conditions at high altitudes where outside air pressure is dangerously low.
