OverviewTypesCompressors and expandersStorageHistoryProjectsStorage thermodynamicsVehicle applications

Compression of air creates heat; the air is warmer after compression. Expansion removes heat. If no extra heat is added, the air will be much colder after expansion. If the heat generated during compression can be stored and used during expansion, then the efficiency of the storage improves considerably.
