  2. Damper (flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(flow)

    This damper can switch the electrical power to control additional "slave" dampers, minimizing the electrical load on the damper's control circuitry and power transformer. A zone damper (also known as a Volume Control Damper or VCD) is a specific type of damper used to control the flow of air in an HVAC heating or cooling system. In order to ...

  3. Standpipe (firefighting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standpipe_(firefighting)

    External access point for fire sprinkler and dry standpipe at a building in San Francisco, US Antique wet standpipe preserved at Edison and Ford Winter Estates. A standpipe or riser is a type of rigid water piping which is built into multi-story buildings in a vertical position, or into bridges in a horizontal position, to which fire hoses can be connected, allowing manual application of water ...

    English: An image showing the difference between top and side risers, and open and blind risers. Based on diagram on from Degarmo, E. Paul; Black, J T.; Kohser, Ronald A. (2003), Materials and Processes in Manufacturing (9th ed.), p. 287.

  5. Fire damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_damper

    Fire/smoke dampers are similar to fire dampers in fire resistance rating, and also prevent the spread of smoke inside the ducts. When a rise in temperature occurs, the fire damper closes, usually activated by a thermal element which melts at temperatures higher than ambient but low enough to indicate the presence of a fire, allowing springs to ...

  6. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...

  7. Dashpot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

    Simplified diagram of linear dashpot. A dashpot, also known as a damper [citation needed], is a mechanical device that resists motion via viscous friction. [1] The resulting force is proportional to the velocity, but acts in the opposite direction, [2] slowing the motion and absorbing energy. It is commonly used in conjunction with a spring.

  8. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

    In order to reduce the maximum force on the motor mounts as the motor operates over a range of speeds, a smaller mass, m 2, is connected to m 1 by a spring and a damper, k 2 and c 2. F 1 is the effective force on the motor due to its operation. Response of the system excited by one unit of force, with (red) and without (blue) the 10% tuned mass ...

  9. Damper winding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_winding

    Bars and rings of the damper (amortisseur) winding of an AC generator (General Electric, early 20th century). Note the gaps in the cage along the quadrature axes. The damper winding (also amortisseur winding [1]) is a squirrel-cage-like winding on the rotor of a typical synchronous electric machine. It is used to dampen the transient ...
