compressors, plural;
  1. An instrument or device for compressing something

  2. A machine used to supply air or other gas at increased pressure, e.g., to power a gas turbine

  3. An electrical amplifier that reduces the dynamic range of a signal

  1. a mechanical device that compresses gasses
  2. Compressor is a video and audio media compression and encoding application for use with Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio on Mac OS X. It can be used with Qmaster for clustering.
  3. (Compressors) A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.
  4. A device that produces pressure, such as a gas compressor that produces pressurized gas; A devices that squeezes (compresses); A device that reduces the dynamic range of an audio signal
  5. (Compressors) are machines designed for compressing air or gas from an initial intake pressure to a higher discharge pressure
  6. (Compressors) Devices used in air conditioners to compress and expel the cool air created.
  7. A mechanical device that pressurizes a gas in order to turn it into a liquid, thereby allowing heat to be removed or added. A compressor is the main component of conventional heat pumps and air conditioners. ...
  8. The heart of an air conditioning or heat pump system. It is part of the outdoor unit and pumps refrigerant in order to meet the cooling requirements of the system.
  9. The part of a cooling unit or heat pump that compresses refrigerant gas so it absorbs heat.
  10. Device for providing gas under pressure. Usually connotes high pressures and not so high volume.
  11. Part of a split-system heat pump or air conditioner's outdoor unit that controls the pressure applied to the refrigerant, necessary for taking in heat to warm your home with a heat pump or getting rid of heat to keep your home cool.
  12. The compressors basic function is to pump refrigerant throughout its closed loop of pipes and tubes. Compressors are rated in BTUs or tons. 1 Ton = 12,000 BTU.
  13. A device used to compress air for mechanical or electrical power production, and in air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigerators to pressurize the refrigerant and enabling it to flow through the system.
  14. An engine used to increase the pressure of natural gas so that it will flow more easily through a pipeline.
  15. A device which converts mechanical force and motion into pneumatic fluid power.
  16. Refrigeration pump that circulates refrigerant and increases the pressure of refrigerant vapour.
  17. The piece of equipment pumps refrigerant through a sealed system.
  18. A signal processing device that does not allow as much fluctuation in the level of the signal above a certain adjustable or fixed level.
  19. A processor that "squeezes" the dynamic range of the signal by limiting peaks and bringing up the level of soft passages. A limiter can be used to fatten a sound or give it more apparent sustain. ...
  20. Machine which produces compressed air for operation of circuit-breaker pneumatic mechanisms and for arc extinction in air blast circuit-breakers.
  21. A compressor provides a form of automatic level control. It attenuates high levels, thereby reducing the dynamic range, making it easier to control signals and set appropriate fader levels. ...
  22. An effect that lowers the volume when the input sound exceeds the specified Threshold level, or boosts the sound when it is below this level, in this way making the overall volume more consistent.
  23. An audio or video device that reduces the amplitude range of a video clip or an audio track. The effect of the audio compressor is to make the loud parts of a signal softer and to make the very soft parts louder.
  24. A compressor is the "engine" (or motor) of the freezer as it is the heart of the cooling system. It is black and is located at the bottom back of the freezer. It goes on and off and can be heard humming when the freezer thermostat signals that it is time for cooling. ...
  25. This device pumps refrigerant through refrigerant lines and the coil within an air conditioner, transferring indoor heat outside. Ensure maximum efficiency with a central AC tune-ups.
