If its a piston type compressor ( looks like a motorbike engine):
There is one or 2 cylinders, they suck air in to the cylindr by the piston moving down, when the piston moves up it opens a small valve which alows air to move into the next cylinder for second compression, once again as the piston rises, the air is passed out of the cylinder and into a storage container, like a receiver, as the compressor sucks air in and pushes it into the receiver the pressure builds up in the reeiver with each stroke of the cylinder until the regulator valve tells the compressor to stop pumping air, whch is the maximum air pressure available to use.

the air is compresed like the car engine compress the air fuel mixture for compustion but the air is pushed into a storage tank when the pressure is reaced that the system is set for the air pressure forces a switch to open the electric circuit shuting the compressor off. when the air is used pressure drops turning the circuit back on
