Compressors HistoryThe level of distinction between composers and other musicians varies, which affects
issues such as copyright and the deference given to individual interpretations of a
particular piece of music. In the development of European classical music, the
function of composing music initially did not have much greater importance than that
of performing it. The preservation of individual compositions did not receive
enormous attention and musicians generally had no qualms about modifying
compositions for performance. Over time, however, the written notation of the
composer came to be treated as strict instructions from which performers should not
deviate without good practical or artistic reason. Performers do, however, play the
music and interpret it in a way that is all their own. In fact, in the concerto form, the
soloist would often compose and perform a cadenza as a way to express their
individual interpretation of the piece.
In as much as the role of the composer in western art music has seen continued
solidification, in alternative idioms (i.e. jazz, experimental music) it has in some ways
become increasingly complex or vague. For instance, in certain contexts the line
between composer and performer, sound designer, arranger, producer, and other roles,
can be quite blurred.
The term "composer" is often used to refer to composers of instrumental music, such
as those found in classical, jazz or other forms of art and traditional music. In popular
and folk music, the composer is usually called a songwriter, since the music generally
takes the form of a song.
Since the mid-20th century, the term has expanded to accommodate creators of
electroacoustic music, in which composers directly create sonic material in any of the
various electronic media. This is distinct from instrumental composition, where the
work is represented by a musical score to be interpreted by performers.
Famous composers have tended to cluster in certain cities throughout history. Based
on over 12,000 prominent composers listed in Grove Music Online and using word
count measurement techniques the most important cities for classical music can be
quantitatively identified.
Paris has been the main hub for classical music of all times. It was ranked fifth in the
15th and 16th centuries but first in the 17th to 20th centuries inclusive. London was
the second most meaningful city: eight in the 15th century, seventh in the 16th, fifth in
the 17th, second in the 18th and 19th centuries, and fourth in the 20th century. Rome
topped the rankings in the 15th century, dropped to second in the 16th and 17th
centuries, eight in the 18th century, ninth in the 19th century but back at sixth in the
20th century. Berlin appears in the top ten ranking only in the 18th century, and was
ranked third most important city in both the 19th and 20th centuries. New York
entered the rankings in the 19th century (at fifth place) and stood at second rank in the
20th century.
The patterns are very similar for a sample of 522 top composers.
Positive-displacement air compressors work by forcing air into a chamber whose
volume is decreased to compress the air. Piston-type air compressors use this principle
by pumping air into an air chamber through the use of the constant motion of pistons.
They use one-way valves to guide air into a chamber, where the air is
compressed.Rotary screw compressors also use positive-displacement compression by
matching two helical screws that, when turned, guide air into a chamber, whose
volume is decreased as the screws turn. Vane compressors use a slotted rotor with
varied blade placement to guide air into a chamber and compress the volume. A type
of compressor that delivers a fixed volume of air at high pressures. Common types of
positive displacement compressors include piston compressors and rotary screw
compressors.
Negative-displacement air compressors include centrifugal compressors. These use
centrifugal force generated by a spinning impeller to accelerate and then decelerate
captured air, which pressurizes it.
To supply high-pressure clean air to fill gas cylinders
To supply moderate-pressure clean air to a submerged surface supplied diver
To supply moderate-pressure clean air for driving some office and school
building pneumatic HVAC control system valves
To supply a large amount of moderate-pressure air to power pneumatic tools,
such as jackhammers
For filling tires
To produce large volumes of moderate-pressure air for large-scale industrial
processes (such as oxidation for petroleum coking or cement plant bag house
purge systems).
Most air compressors either are reciprocating piston type, rotary vane or rotary screw.
Centrifugal compressors are common in very large applications. There are two main
types of air compressor's pumps: oil-lubed and oil-less. The oil-less system has more
technical development, but is more expensive, louder and lasts for less time than oil-
lubed pumps. The oil-less system also delivers air of better quality.
HISTORY OF AIR COMPRESSOR
The first air compressors created were not machines, like many people may think. In
fact they were actually people themselves. Humans used their lungs to blow oxygen
onto fires, thus creating the first air compressors. The air compressors we know today
are both stronger and more efficient. A healthy pair of human lungs can produce.02
to.08 bar, where one bar equals 14.5 pounds per square inch. Around 3,000 BC
metallurgy had made its day view, and humans had turned over a new leaf in air
compressors.
As metals were melted down, higher temperatures were needed, which lead to a need
for more powerful compressors. Hand held bellows were soon created and in the 1,500
BC era foot bellows began to be produced. For 2,000 years bellows driven by foot
were the primary choice when it came to compressed air. Soon blast furnaces were
developed, which lead to John Smeaton’s design of a water wheel-driven blowing
cylinder in 1762. Hand held and foot operated bellows become obsolete, and the new
Smeaton design was the blower system of choice.
Later inventor John Wilkinson came into the picture and created a much more efficient
blasting machine. Invented in England during the year 1776, this new machine was an
early prototype for all the mechanical compressors to come. Many of these new air
compressors were used in mining and tunnel building. Particularly in the 1857
construction of the tunnel rail system that connected Italy to France. They were able to
move large volumes of fresh air in to the tunnels for ventilation.
As word of tunnel development with compressed air machines spread international
intrigue was sparked. Inventors soon realized compressed air could be used in many
more industries than just mining. Leading this advance was Austrian engineer Viktor
Popp, who created compressor plant in Paris. In 1888 Mr. Popp installed a 1,500 kW
compressor plant and by the year 1891 the plant had grown to 18,000 kW.
As years passed more and more patents were handed out to inventors who were
tweaking the designs of the original machines. Soon compressed air machines were
being used in a number of different applications all around the world. Their versatility,
reliability, and all around usability make them popular among many industries.
Frequently air compressors are used in combination with hydraulics and electricity.
The two complement each other and have changed the way compressed air is used in
industries around the world.
