2. Cascade filling system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_filling_system

   Cascade filling system. A cascade filling system is a high-pressure gas cylinder storage system that is used for the refilling of smaller compressed gas cylinders. [1][2] In some applications, each of the large cylinders is filled by a compressor, otherwise they may be filled remotely and replaced when the pressure is too low for effective ...

3. Air brake (road vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_brake_(road_vehicle)

   Air brake (road vehicle) An air brake or, more formally, a compressed-air-brake system, is a type of friction brake for vehicles in which compressed air pressing on a piston is used to both release the parking/emergency brakes in order to move the vehicle, and also to apply pressure to the brake pads or brake shoes to slow and stop the vehicle.

4. Air compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_compressor

   Air compressor supplies air into a nail gun.. An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It is an application of a gas compressor and a pneumatic device that converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses.

5. Blowoff valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve

   A blowoff valve is designed to release pressure in the intake system when the throttle is closed. A "recirculating" type blowoff valve releases the pressurised air back into the non-pressurized section of the intake (i.e. upstream of the turbocharger), while an "atmospheric venting" type blowoff valve dumps the air directly into the atmosphere.

6. Compressed-air vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_vehicle

   The tanks must be designed to safety standards appropriate for a pressure vessel, such as ISO 11439. [7]The pressure vessels or air storage tanks that can be used in compressed-air vehicles can be made of low pressure (9 atm (130 psi)) or high pressure (more than 240 atm (3,500 psi)), and can be made of composite materials like thermoplastic and fiber reinforced thermoplastics, [6] [8] that ...

7. Hydraulic compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_compressor

   A hydraulic compressor is a means of compressing air useing hydraulic energy. There are two very different types of machine referred to as hydraulic compessors. One type is a mechanical air compressor that is driven by a hydraulic motor. It is a method of converting hydraulic power to pneumatic power. [1] this type of hydraulic compressor is ...
