What is the Air Suspension Air Compressor all about?
A device that compresses and pressurizes air. Used to inflate air
springs.
An Air Suspension Compressor also called Air Compressor or Air
Pump, inflates or deflates air spring bags as necessary. When a
vehicle with air suspension drops below the factory-defined height,
the air suspension compressor, also simply called an air compressor
or air pump is activated and inflates the air bags or air struts.

Air Suspension Compressor Function
An air compressor is a machine that uses an electric motor or gas
engine to power a device that sucks in successive volumes of air
from the atmosphere, compresses (squeezes) each volume of air in a
confined place to increase its pressure by making the volume
smaller, and then transfers the high-pressure air to a receiver
tank, The high-pressure air is drawn off from the receiver tank to
power equipment.
Air compressors work
Air compressors work by forcing air into a container and
pressurizing it. Then, the air is forced through an opening in the
tank, where pressure builds up. Think of it like an open balloon:
the compressed air can be used as energy as it’s released.
They’re powered by an engine that turns electrical energy into
kinetic energy. It’s similar to how a combustion engine works,
using a crankshaft, piston, valve, head and a connecting rod.
From there, the pressurized air can be used to power a variety of
tools.
Application of air suspension compressor Systems
Air compressors have many uses, including: supplying high-pressure
clean air to fill gas cylinders, supplying moderate-pressure clean
air to a submerged surface supplied diver, supplying
moderate-pressure clean air for driving some office and school
building pneumatic HVAC control system valves, supplying a large
amount of moderate-pressure air to power pneumatic tools, such as
jackhammers, filling high pressure air tanks (HPA), for filling
tires, and 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).[6]
Air compressors are also widely used in oil and gas, mining and
drilling applications as the flushing medium, aerating muds in
underbalanced drilling and in air pigging of pipelines.
Most air compressors either are reciprocating piston type, rotary
vane or rotary screw. Centrifugal compressors are common in very
large applications, while rotary screw, scroll,[7] and
reciprocating air compressors are favored for small and medium
sized applications.
Air suspension compressor Features
Air bag suspensions systems are a feature found on many luxury
vehicles and SUVs. An air bag suspension system serves the same
purpose as a standard suspension system, however, instead of using
metal springs and liquid filled shocks, it uses a system of
inflatable air bags filled with compressed air to suspend the
vehicle off the ground.
One of the most important components of an air bag system is the
compressor. The compressor is what supplies the entire system with
the compressed air required to inflate the airbags and support the
weight of the vehicle. Without the compressor, the entire air bag
system would be left without air, and the vehicle would be left
with an inoperable suspension
Air Suspension
When it comes to air-ride suspension, they come in several styles
for both OE replacement and aftermarket upgrades. Some systems use
an integrated air spring and shock absorber that replaces your
customer’s metal springs with pressure-adjustable air springs
(i.e., airbag). Using correctly sized air springs and properly
calibrated shock absorbers offers ride characteristics similar to
coilovers.
An air-suspension system consists of many different components.
Components include an air compressor, air springs, pneumatic
solenoid valves, height sensors, electronic control unit, air
reservoir, air lines, pressure sensor and temperature sensor. The
system may be designed for the rear air suspension only or for the
entire vehicle.
While air-suspension systems are mostly used on high-end European
cars, manufacturers have adapted them to many other vehicles such
as SUVs and pickups to improve ride comfort and functionality. OEMs
also discovered that air ride could improve fuel economy by
lowering the car at highway speeds to reduce the drag coefficient.
Air Suspension Advantage
1. Comfort
One of the main benefits of air suspension cars is the improved
comfort behind the wheel, making it good for daily driving. The
adjustable air suspension makes for a more comfortable ride on poor
quality roads and can improve control when off-roading. The use of
airbags above your wheels, rather than springs, also improves the
quality of the journey for passengers.
2.Reduced noise and vibration
Another advantage of air suspension is less wear and tear on the
suspension system and vehicle components, due to reduced harshness
and vibration, particularly with heavy-duty driving. Air suspension
compensates for potholes, uneven surfaces and speed bumps in the
road allowing your vehicle to glide easily over the road surface.
3.Versatility on the road
An air spring system allows the driver to adjust the car to suit
their personal preferences for ride comfort and handling. When the
driver can choose between a harder drive for motorway driving or a
softer feel for demanding roads, the driver maintains control no
matter the terrain. Higher cornering speeds and greater levels of
control when turning corners can be achieved with air suspension,
as the vehicle is better suited to the conditions of the road. An
adjustable suspension that can lower the vehicle to the ground
means the drag can potentially reduce at higher speeds.
Additionally, the ability to raise the car for everyday use is
extremely handy for off-road driving.
4.Versatility on load
Another advantage of air suspension is its versatility on load. The
height of the car can be adjusted according to the load, the
‘kneel’ or ‘raise’ functions making loading easier from the outset.
The purpose of air suspension is to give consistency across all
wheels, and there is a lower risk of body roll when turning
corners, less risk of breakages and less load shifting and damage
caused due to reduced vibrations through the suspension. Plus,
better control due to increased firmness provides improved towing
capabilities for larger vehicles.
5.Fuel economy
As vehicles with air suspension can be adjusted to road type, they
benefit from better fuel economy. For example, a lower ride height
for motorway driving means better aerodynamics and reduced wind
resistance. Conversely, a suspension that is better suited to a
particular road surface with better control can achieve higher
corner speeds and lead to time-saving on routes with many turns.
