Natterer compressor
Encyclopedia
A Natterer compressor was a type of air compression
machine which was used in early experiments in making liquid oxygen
(LOX) in the 1870s. A manually operated screw jack was utilized to compress air or other gases up to ~200 atm
(~3000 psi
).
The device was created by Johann Natterer, a student of Adolf Martin Pleischl
, for experiments creating liquid carbonic acid.
