We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Compressor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Upgrade for compressed air control from
Energair Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "Range comprises of six compressed air controllers designed to suit air systems ranging from one to 24 compressors".
The day before,
we featured the news release Pay as you go compressors ease financial burden from
CompAir UK: "The PAYG scheme is available on a range of packages, including CompAir fixed speed Airstations and variable speed Hydrovane Hypac machines".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Micro-Epsilon UK
concerning its eddyNCDT eddy current displacement sensors
- take a look at Eddy current sensor guide provides easy reference
which says: "The miniature eddyNCDT eddy current displacement sensors use variable coil geometry to offer customers a sensor that has installation dimensions of less than 2mm".
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Process Air and Gas, Nitrogen-filled tyres improve vehicle safety,
as well as Compressor development to revolutionise wind power from Ricardo,
and Thermostat eases temperature control from Hawco.
