HISTORY OF WIND COMPRESSOR MANUFACTURING – Hello all Techniq friends , nowadays everything is so sophisticated, who doesn’t know about air compressors. But do you know where the history of making air compressors begins? If you don’t know, it’s a coincidence because we will try to discuss the history of making air compressors, starting from when and why this compressor was created.
Our discussion this time is interesting. Because this also increases our knowledge of the history of technological development in the world. Because the 20th century is a century where we experience very rapid technological developments. So we think that we as humans living in this century should know about the history of technology in this world.
And in this case, it is the history of making air compressors that we all need to know.
HISTORY OF THE MANUFACTURE OF WIND COMPRESSORS
So, let’s discuss the idea of ​​making this air compressor first, guys. So the compressor was first created because of the existence of human lungs. As we know, guys, the way our lungs work is through the nose, which inhales air and then exhales. So the air is inhaled in the form of O2 gas and then exhaled into CO2 gas.
And there were many uses for these lungs at that time, such as making fire by blowing. The resulting fire had many functions at that time. Examples include cooking, warming the body when the air is cold, making metal such as swords, knives and so on.
But… because people are increasingly demanding food, metal and so on. Of course, human lungs and mouths have limitations, guys. It’s also a shame that the work blows every minute.. Hehehe..
From this problem arose the idea of ​​making a machine that could produce pressurized wind. Or wind that can shoot out with bursting force. And because the wind emitted by humans is CO2, the combustion itself is not optimal. So they thought more about making a machine that could produce O2 / oxygen gas which had air pressure.
Well… finally they tried to make a tool that had a spring that could pump air. The shape is like scissors which have two lever handles. If you’re confused, here’s the picture, just look at it:
Well, if you use that, your mouth won’t sting… Hehehe… and many people are starting to use this tool for their needs to start burning fires. Again, human needs are increasing and demand is becoming more diverse. They need a tool that can produce air with higher pressure.
BEGINNING OF WIND COMPRESSOR MANUFACTURING
Let’s continue with the history… don’t get bored just yet… heheh… So this is what continues after the demand for a device that can produce air at a higher pressure. In 1650, German physicist Otto Von Guericke designed a vacuum pump that could draw gas through a small space and store it in a larger space.
But the creation only ended there because perhaps the limitations of technology and equipment at that time. Finally in 1762, an engineer named John Smeaton created a new blower that was driven by a water wheel. So the previous discovery, which could only suck in air, was released by John Smeaton.
But because it only blows, the air released does not have high pressure. So in 1776, an English inventor named John Wilkinson invented a device that could blow air at high pressure. This device was the beginning of making a more perfect compressor.
Time goes on and the manufacture of compressors becomes more refined and their uses become more diverse. Starting from home use to large factories. And compressors began to be mass produced in 1888 in Europe with the creation of the first compressor factory. Until now, compressors are made in various types and sizes.
So that’s the brief history of making air compressors, guys. And in the end, many people use this air compressor in various applications. What are the uses of compressors from the past until now?
USES OF WIND COMPRESSORS
The uses for air compressors are currently quite diverse, guys. And each use is divided into each industry and field. So the use of this compressor really varies. So what are compressors for now?
This is the answer:
- Vehicle transportation (bus, truck, train, plane, etc.). Usually used for automatic doors, so they can close and open themselves using the air pressure released by the compressor.
- Military (Submarines, Tanks, etc.).
- Multi-storey buildings, hotels, apartments, stadiums, airports, etc.
- Food & beverages (Food and Beverage Manufacturing).
- Factories
- Etc
That’s quite a lot, guys.. If there’s something I didn’t mention, it means I forgot or I didn’t really get the information.. Hehehe.. Please understand.. He’s also human.
OK, that’s enough for our article this time. Hopefully this article can be useful for all of you, so that your knowledge of the history of technology will increase. Don’t forget to share this article with your friends if you feel this article is necessary to increase the knowledge of all your friends or relatives.
