Convert air compressor to air motor?

[testingcw]

Hi

I was wondering if a simple 2 stage air compressor can be used as an air motor?

And how can I go about transforming it?

cheers

I don't know what a 2 stage air compressor is, but I imagine that it already IS an air motor, it's just running backwards.

There's a port of the compressor that discharges compressed air.

If you simply supply compressed air to this port, you should have an air motor.

You would need to change the valve arrangements as you would be reversing the flow of gas through the machine. Unless you have a large supply of free compressed air why would you want to do this?
