Air compressors are widely used in the laboratory, mainly in the following aspects:

1.Provide power source: The air compressor provides the necessary air power for the pneumatic equipment in the laboratory, such as pneumatic tools, pneumatic valves, etc., to ensure the automatic operation during the experiment.

2.Experimental requirements: Some equipment and experimental processes in the laboratory need to use compressed air, and the compressed air provided by the air compressor needs to meet the specific requirements of the experiment for pressure, flow rate and air quality.

3.Air quality: Laboratories have high requirements for the dryness and cleanliness of compressed air. For example, analytical test instruments have high requirements for airborne particulate matter, generally reaching the solid particulate matter class 2 or 1 specified in ISO8573-1. Therefore, laboratories often use oil-free air compressors to avoid oil and gas contamination.

4.Noise control: The laboratory environment requires quiet working conditions, so noise control of air compressors is very important. Some laboratories have very strict noise requirements for air compressors, for example, the noise level needs to be controlled within 60 decibels.

5.Stability and reliability: Air compressors in the laboratory need to provide continuous and stable compressed air to ensure the accuracy and reliability of experimental data. The stability and reliability of the air compressor provide a guarantee for researchers to focus on research.

6.Energy-saving and environmental protection: The air compressors used in the laboratory usually adopt energy-saving technologies, such as frequency conversion speed regulation, efficiency motors, etc., to improve the energy efficiency ratio and reduce energy consumption. At the same time, the oil-free air compressor will not produce waste oil, which is conducive to environmental protection.

7.Special research field: In some special research fields, such as the study of compressed air energy storage system, the air compressor is the key equipment to realize the study of the unsteady characteristics of the system, the compressor and the expander.

8.Equipment selection: When choosing an air compressor for the laboratory, it is necessary to consider factors such as output air quality, operating noise, working stability, and the size of the equipment itself to ensure that the specific needs of the laboratory are met.

9.Maintenance and operation: Air compressors for laboratories are usually designed to be easy to maintain and operate to reduce the maintenance workload of laboratory personnel and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

10.Integrated design: In order to save laboratory space, some air compressors adopt an integrated design, integrating air compressors, air storage tanks, refrigeration dryers, etc. to reduce the space occupied.

To sum up, the application of air compressor in the laboratory is multifaceted, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate air compressor model and configuration according to the specific needs of the laboratory.
