What is the difference between a diffuser and a compressor?
Diffuser(Mechanical): A Device that is used to increase the static pressure of the fluid that passes through the system and also reducing the velocity of the fluid. Static pressure occurs when the fluid passes through the duct.
Diffuser(HVAC): A room air distribution subsystem used in both air and water cooled air conditioning systems. These are used to channelize both the conditioned and ventilated air through out the surrounding in the necessary directions. Diffuser positions are strategically decided based on the room/surrounding/system volume. They greatly reduce noise produced byt the system

Compressor(Mechanical): A Device that increases the pressure of the fluid by reducing the volume of the system. Similar to pumps they can be used for both compression as well as transportation.
Compressor(HVAC): A pump which draws a low pressure on the cooling side of a refrigeration cycle and compresses the refrigerant gas into the high pressure or the condensing side of the cycle.
