2. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_(mechanical)

   Load fluctuations are shock-absorbed (cushioned). They need no lubrication and minimal maintenance. They have high efficiency (90–98%, usually 95%), high tolerance for misalignment, and are of relatively low cost if the shafts are far apart. Clutch action can be achieved by shifting the belt to a free turning pulley or by releasing belt tension.

3. Flywheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel

   The efficiency of a flywheel is determined by the maximum amount of energy it can store per unit weight. As the flywheel's rotational speed or angular velocity is increased, the stored energy increases; however, the stresses also increase. If the hoop stress surpass the tensile strength of the material, the flywheel will break apart.

4. Pulley - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulley

   A sheave or pulley wheel is a pulley using an axle supported by a frame or shell (block) to guide a cable or exert force. A pulley may have a groove or grooves between flanges around its circumference to locate the cable or belt. The drive element of a pulley system can be a rope, cable, belt, or chain.

5. Axial compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_compressor

   An animated simulation of an axial compressor. The static blades are the stators.. An axial compressor is a gas compressor that can continuously pressurize gases.It is a rotating, airfoil-based compressor in which the gas or working fluid principally flows parallel to the axis of rotation, or axially.

6. Centrifugal compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_compressor

   The simplest inlet to a centrifugal compressor is typically a simple pipe. Depending upon its use/application inlets can be very complex. They may include other components such as an inlet throttle valve, a shrouded port, an annular duct (see Figure 1.1), a bifurcated duct, stationary guide vanes/airfoils used to straight or swirl flow (see Figure 1.1), movable guide vanes (used to vary pre ...

   When tank pressure reaches its engineered upper limit the air compressor shuts off. The compressed air, then, is held in the tank until called into use. [14] Air conditioner – Air conditioning (often referred to as AC, A/C, or air con) [15] is the process of removing heat and moisture from the interior of an occupied space, to improve the ...

   For example, the property tax calculator says the average cost of ending Act 10 would cost Milwaukee homeowners $1,300 more. That price tag jumps to over $1,800 in Watertown, and to over $2,400 ...

9. Rotary-screw compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary-screw_compressor

   Utilized by compressor companies Quincy Compressor, Kobelco, Gardner Denver, Kaishan USA, and Sullair, variable displacement alters the percentage of the screw compressor rotors working to compress air by allowing air flow to bypass portions of the screws. While this does reduce power consumption when compared to a modulation control scheme, a ...
