The air compressor is the core of the air source device, which converts the mechanical energy of the motor into gas pressure energy, and is a pressure generating device for compressed air. The on-board air compressor sucks in natural air, and comes out with compressed air of a certain density, which is then sent to the air storage tank to form high-pressure air with a pressure higher than 10 kg, which is used by the on-board actuator to do work. The main applications of air compressors in vehicles are: brake system, door pump and clutch wheel pump, and air suspension.
At present, there are three main products in the air compressor market, namely: piston air compressors, screw air compressors, and sliding vane air compressors. The three products have their own advantages and disadvantages. Compared with the piston type and the screw type, the sliding vane air compressor occupies a All-round advantage.
