Air compressors are crucial in geothermal drilling. They power tools, clean boreholes, and remove debris. They also supply high-pressure air to the downhole hammer, which breaks up hard rock formations. Portable air compressors are essential for generating this high-pressure air. Atlas Copco has launched a new compact and powerful DrillAir compressor, the X-Air+ 750-25, revolutionizing […]
