Trompe

Basics

• An air compressor with no moving parts
• Utilizes the mixing of air and water with something similar to a scaled up Sink Airator
• Then it seperates the mixed stream into a lower water out, and a slightly upper compressed air out
• One of the oldest air compressors
• Not suitable for high pressure applications (Needs research, also can multiple stages be used?)
