  2. Baffle spray scrubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffle_spray_scrubber

    A simple baffle scrubber system is shown in Figure 1. Liquid sprays capture pollutants and also remove collected particles from the baffles. Adding baffles slightly increases the pressure drop of the system. This type of technology is a part of the group of air pollution controls collectively referred to as wet scrubbers.

  3. Siphon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon

    Metal baffles at the roof drain inlets reduce the injection of air which increases the efficiency of the system. [68] One benefit to this drainage technique is reduced capital costs in construction compared to traditional roof drainage. [66] Another benefit is the elimination of pipe pitch or gradient required for conventional roof drainage piping.

  4. Cooling tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_tower

    [29] [30] In the adjacent diagram, water pumped from the tower basin is the cooling water routed through the process coolers and condensers in an industrial facility. The cool water absorbs heat from the hot process streams which need to be cooled or condensed, and the absorbed heat warms the circulating water (C).

  5. Sump pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sump_pump

    Sump pumps are used where basement flooding may otherwise happen, and to solve dampness where the water table is near or above the foundation of a structure. Sump pumps send water away from a location to any place where it is no longer problematic, such as a municipal storm drain, a dry well, or simply an open-air site downhill from the building (sometimes called "pumping to daylight").

  6. Baffle (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffle_(heat_transfer)

    In this case the baffle helps increase the efficiency of the stove as more heat leaves the gas before it exits. The baffles prevent the rotational flow without affecting radial or longitudinal flow. The tank is provided with baffles which prevent swirling and vortex formation. Except in very large tanks, four(4) baffles are placed.

  7. Bunding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunding

    Plastic tanks cannot hold very dense liquids at high wall levels. Large, exposed bunding will need a sump pump or some other system to remove precipitation, though it may also be used to transfer spilled liquid into another container. Rainwater must be treated if the liquid being stored is toxic because there may be small amounts of it ...

  8. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    A plug is a short barbed fitting with a blank end that can only be used with PEX piping to end the continuation of a water line that is no longer in use due to tying in elsewhere within the system or to seal the end of a water line which may be used for future use in the case of additional facilities. All plugs are sealed watertight with a PEX ...

  9. Dry sump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

    A dry-sump system is a method to manage the lubricating motor oil in four-stroke and large two-stroke piston driven internal combustion engines. The dry-sump system uses two or more oil pumps and a separate oil reservoir, as opposed to a conventional wet-sump system, which uses only the main sump (U.S.: oil
