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. (compressor) a mechanical device that compresses gasses
  2. A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.
  3. (Compressor (software)) 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.
  4. (Compressor) a device which converts mechanical force and motion into pneumatic fluid power.
  5. (Compressor) an engine used to increase the pressure of natural gas so that it will flow more easily through a pipeline
  6. (Compressor) 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 or getting rid of heat to keep your home cool.
  7. (Compressor) 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.
  8. (Compressor) is a vapor pump that pumps vapor (refrigerant or air) from one pressure level to a higher pressure level.
  9. (COMPRESSOR) A signal processor that reduces dynamic range or gainby means of automatic volume control. An amplifier whose gain decreases as the input signal level increases above a preset point
  10. (compressor) 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. ...
  11. a compressor controls the overall amplitude of a signal by reducing that part of the signal which exceeds an adjustable level (threshold) set by the user. When the signal exceeds the threshold level, the overall amplitude is reduced by a ratio, also usually adjustable by the user.
  12. (Compressor) a unit that applies compression to an audio signal, usually with controls for sculpting exactly when and how much compression is applied to the signal
  13. (COMPRESSOR) An electro-mechanical device used to circulate refrigerant through a refrigeration system for the purpose of transferring heat.
  14. The compressor is the first component in the engine core. It is made up of fans with many blades and it is attached to the shaft. The compressor squeezes the air and creates an increase in the air pressure. The squashed air is forced into the combustion chamber.
  15. (Compressor) The heart of an air conditioning or heat pump system. It is part of the outdoor unit that pumps refrigerant. The compressor maintains adequate pressure to cause refrigerant to flow in sufficient quantities in order to meet the cooling requirements of the system.
  16. (Compressor) Device for providing gas under pressure. Usually connotes high pressures and not so high volume.
  17. (Compressor) The heart of an air conditioning or heat pump system. It pumps the refrigerant into the Condenser coil, then out and into the Evaporator coil and finally back to be re-circulated. ...
  18. (COMPRESSOR) A large motor located within the outdoor unit (condenser) that pumps freon throughout the system.
  19. (Compressor (Limiter)) 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. ...
  20. (Compressor) A device designed to create and maintain the necessary air in the brake system reserve and air ride suspension. It may be belt or gear driven.
  21. (Compressor) A device for taking a gas, most often air, and pumping it to take less space at a higher pressure.  Typical shop compressors have a tank holding several gallons of air at 125-150 psi.  Pneumatic tools use air instead of electricity to spin gears or hammer. ...
  22. (Compressor) A machine that pressurizes and regulates airflow for delivery into tools or tires.
  23. (Compressor) A mechanical device used to compress air. An electric motor ( or a gas or diesel engine) is used to drive a pump which usually consists of a cylinder and a piston assembly. A Two Stage Compressor will have two such assemblies. ...
  24. (Compressor) 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. ...
  25. (Compressor) A reciprocating or rotary pump for raising the pressure of air or another gas; this may be a single-stage or multistage unit. ...
