  2. Load bank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_bank

    A resistive load bank, therefore, removes energy from the complete system: load bank from generatorgenerator from prime mover—prime mover from fuel. Additional energy is removed as a consequence of resistive load bank operation: waste heat from coolant, exhaust and generator losses and energy consumed by accessory devices. A resistive load ...

  3. Propane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane

    The density of propane gas at 25 °C (77 °F) is 1.808 kg/m 3, about 1.5× the density of air at the same temperature. The density of liquid propane at 25 °C (77 °F) is 0.493 g/cm 3, which is equivalent to 4.11 pounds per U.S. liquid gallon or 493 g/L. Propane expands at 1.5% per 10 °F. Thus, liquid propane has a density of approximately 4.2 ...

  4. Propane, butane, and LPG container valve connections

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane,_butane,_and_LPG...

    Several types of valve connections for propane, butane, and LPG containers exist for transport and storage, sometimes with overlapping usage and applications, and there are major differences in usage between different countries. Even within a single country more than one type can be in use for a specific application.

  5. Gas cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_cylinder

    This is commonly called a cylinder bank or a gas storage bank. The manifold may be arranged to allow simultaneous flow from all the cylinders, or, for a cascade filling system , where gas is tapped off cylinders according to the lowest positive pressure difference between storage and destination cylinder, being a more efficient use of ...

  6. Standby generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_generator

    A standby generator is a back-up electrical system that operates automatically. [1] Within seconds of a utility outage an automatic transfer switch senses the power loss, commands the generator to start and then transfers the electrical load to the generator. The standby generator begins supplying power to the circuits. [2]

  7. Engine–generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine–generator

    An engine–generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of equipment. This combination is also called an engine–generator set or a gen-set. In many contexts, the engine is taken for granted and the combined unit is simply called a generator. An engine–generator ...

  8. Capability curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_curve

    [1] Due to high cost of a generator, a set of sensors and limiters will trigger the alarm when the generator approaches the capability-set boundary and, if no action is taken by the operator, will disconnect the generator from the grid. [3] D-curve expands with cooling. The D-curve for a particular generator can be expanded by improved cooling.

  9. Propane refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane_refrigeration

    Only propane produced specifically for use in refrigeration systems – with a purity of at least 98.5% and moisture content below 10ppm (by weight) – should be used. [ 1 ] With a global warming potential (GWP) of 0.072 [ 2 ] and an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0, R-290 is of very little threat to the environment.
