This Architectural Drawing is AutoCAD 2d drawing of Air Compressor detail drawing. Coming to Terms. When it comes to compressors, there are three main specifications that determine performance: cubic feet per minute (cfm), pounds per square inch (psi) and horsepower. The cfm measures the volume of air that a compressor delivers. The psi indicates the amount of pressure behind the air. 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.
