Case Studies
Types of Aerospace Air Compressors
Quincy Compressor manufactures both a variety of air compressors for the aerospace and defense industries.
- Rotary Screw Compressors: They are known for their continuous airflow, durability, and efficiency, making them suitable for demanding industrial applications in aerospace manufacturing where a constant supply of compressed air is needed.
- Oil-Free Compressors: These compressors are designed to prevent any oil contamination in the compressed air stream, which is vital in aerospace to avoid compromising sensitive materials or systems.
- Reciprocating Compressors: They are versatile and can be used for various applications, offering high-pressure capabilities and suitability for intermittent use in aerospace facilities, bench testing, or smaller-scale operations.
Our Products
Some of our main products for Aerospace use include:
Contamination Control in the Aerospace Industry
Contamination control is an essential concern when manufacturing precise aerospace components. Lubricated compressors represent a potential hazard when fluid mixes with exhausted air. Because of this, Quincy Compressor offers the QOF series of oil-free compressors. Ideal for aerospace applications, these compressors are approved for use in clean rooms and other electronics manufacturing facilities.
For less-demanding applications, our standard lubricated compressors are equipped with advanced filtration and air/fluid separation systems, providing additional peace of mind and reducing the risk of damage to sensitive equipment.
Built for Maximum Reliability
Contamination control is only one desirable characteristic in an aerospace compressor. To keep your business profitable, you need a machine that can be counted on to keep running reliably and efficiently. Backed by some of the best warranty coverage in the industry, Quincy aerospace compressors are engineered to deliver maximum uptime at a low cost of ownership. That means more money and time can be spent pioneering new technology that will take your business — and your clients — to the next level.
Common Applications of Air Compressors in the Aerospace Industry
- Manufacturing: Air compressors are used extensively in aircraft engine manufacturing, powering precision tools for assembly, cleaning and preparing parts, painting, surface finishing, and plastic molding for interior components.
- Testing: Air compressors can be used in the structural testing of wings, supplying compressed air for bench testing of components, and powering ground support equipment. They are also crucial for engine testing, testing critical components and systems, and for sampling and analysis of gases.
- On-Board: Within airplanes, air compressors can contribute to the potable water supply on commercial aircraft, vacuum waste systems, and electronics and galley cooling.
