Air Compressor for Aerospace & Defence Industry

Air compressors are used extensively in the aerospace and defence industries. They are used to power various equipment, including aircraft engines, air conditioners and refrigeration units, and to operate various tools and machinery. Air compressors also provide breathing air for personnel working in hazardous environments. Air compressors in the aerospace industry are widely used in engine manufacturing and testing to fuel injection and cabin pressurisation.

ELGi offers various air compressor designs and technologies suitable for the aerospace and defence industry across India, UAE, Africa and Middle East. For example, oil-free air compressors are often used in aircraft engines, as they minimise the risk of oil contamination. Portable air compressors are used extensively in defence applications, as they can be easily transported wherever needed. Air compressors are an essential part of many industries, and the aerospace and defence industries are no exception. With so many different uses for air compressors, the appropriate air compressor must be selected for the specific application.

Air compressors in the aerospace industry are used to power various tools and equipment, including pneumatic tools, paint guns, and sanders. They are also used to inflate tires and operate the air conditioning and heating systems.

AIR COMPRESSOR APPLICATIONS IN AEROSPACE AND DEFENCE INDUSTRIES

Air compressors have several applications in the aerospace and defence industries. Some of them are:

Fuel Injection and Transfer

Air compressors insert fuel into the engine’s cylinder, ensuring a constant fuel flow. Air compressors help transfer fuel from one location to another, such as from a fuel truck to an aircraft or from one fuel tank to another.

Jet Engine Manufacturing

Compressed Air is used to simulate the conditions experienced during flight to test the engine’s performance and durability.

Testing Equipment

Air compressors can be used to test the performance of various types of equipment, such as tanks and aircraft.

Cabin Pressurization

Compressed air is used to maintain constant air pressure in the passenger cabin & cockpit to provide a comfortable environment for passengers and crew.

Pneumatic Tools

Air compressors are used to power pneumatic tools such as drills, grinders, impact wrenches, and sanders, which are often used in the manufacturing and maintenance of aircraft.

Tire Inflation

Air compressors inflate the tires on airplanes, helicopters, and other aircraft.

Environmental Control

Air compressors are used in the environmental control system of an aircraft to regulate temperature, humidity, and air quality in the cabin.

Hydraulic Systems

Air compressors power hydraulic systems in aircraft, such as brakes and landing gear.

Engine Starting

Air compressors are used to start some aircraft engines, such as turboprop engines.

Powering Air-Operated Valves

Air compressors can be used to power air-operated valves, commonly used in the defence industry to control the flow of fluids and gases.

Cooling Systems

Air compressors can be used to power cooling systems, such as air conditioning systems, in military vehicles and equipment.

Training Simulations

Air compressors can be used to power training simulations, such as simulated gunfire and explosions, to help prepare military personnel for real-world situations.
