2. Air pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pump

   Boyle's air pump. An air pump is a pump for pushing air. Examples include a bicycle pump, pumps that are used to aerate an aquarium or a pond via an airstone; a gas compressor used to power a pneumatic tool, air horn or pipe organ; a bellows used to encourage a fire; a vacuum cleaner and a vacuum pump. All air pumps contain a part that moves ...

3. Piston pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_pump

   Piston pump compared to a plunger pump. A piston pump is a type of positive displacement pump where the high-pressure seal reciprocates with the piston. [1] Piston pumps can be used to move liquids or compress gases. They can operate over a wide range of pressures. High pressure operation can be achieved without adversely affecting flow rate.

4. Turbomolecular pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbomolecular_pump

   A turbomolecular pump is a type of vacuum pump, superficially similar to a turbopump, used to obtain and maintain high vacuum. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] These pumps work on the principle that gas molecules can be given momentum in a desired direction by repeated collision with a moving solid surface.

5. Turbopump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbopump

   A turbopump is a propellant pump with two main components: a rotodynamic pump and a driving gas turbine, usually both mounted on the same shaft, or sometimes geared together. They were initially developed in Germany in the early 1940s. The purpose of a turbopump is to produce a high-pressure fluid for feeding a combustion chamber or other use ...

6. High Pressure Pure Air Generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Pressure_Pure_Air...

   High Pressure Pure Air Generator (HiPPAG®) is a registered trade mark belonging to Ultra Electronics for a type of Pure Air Generating System (PAGS). [2] HiPPAG® is an integrated pure air compressor and filtration system, which continuously consumes atmospheric air during flight or on the ground, and then provides high pressure pure air to cryogenically cool the infrared detector in missile ...

7. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

   Self-priming pumps have to be capable of evacuating air from the pump suction line without any external auxiliary devices. Centrifugal pumps with an internal suction stage such as water-jet pumps or side-channel pumps are also classified as self-priming pumps. [10] Self-Priming centrifugal pumps were invented in 1935.
