  2. Float switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_switch

    A pedestal sump pump with a float switch. A float switch is a type of level sensor, a device used to detect the level of liquid within a tank. The switch may be used to control a pump, as an indicator, an alarm, or to control other devices. One type of float switch uses a mercury switch inside a hinged float.

  3. lp0 on fire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lp0_on_fire

    However, there is no evidence of the "lp0 on fire" message appearing in any software of the time. [ 1 ] As the technology matured, most large printer installations were drum printers , a type of impact printer which could print an entire line of text at once through the use of a high speed rotary printing drum.

  4. Pumping (oil well) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_(oil_well)

    In the context of oil wells, pumping is a routine operation involving injecting fluids into the well. Pumping may either be done by rigging up to the kill wing valve on the Xmas tree or, if an intervention rig up is present pumping into the riser through a T-piece (a small section of riser with a connection on the side).

  5. Oil pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pressure

    Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

  6. Pressure tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_tank

    The pressure switch turns the water pump on when it senses a pressure that is less than P lo and turns it off when it senses a pressure greater than P hi. While the pump is on, the pressure tank fills up. The pressure tank is then depleted as it supplies water in the specified pressure range to prevent "short-cycling", in which the pump tries ...

  7. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    The squeeze-film pressure sensor is a type of MEMS resonant pressure sensor that operates by a thin membrane that compresses a thin film of gas at high frequency. Since the compressibility and stiffness of the gas film are pressure dependent, the resonance frequency of the squeeze-film pressure sensor is used as a measure of the gas pressure.

  8. Level sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

    Hydrostatic pressure level sensors are submersible or externally mounted pressure sensors suitable for measuring the level of corrosive liquids in deep tanks or water in reservoirs. Typically, fluid level is determined by the pressure at the bottom of the fluid containment (tank or reservoir); the pressure at the bottom, adjusted for the ...

  9. Pulser pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulser_Pump

    A pulser pump makes use of water that flows through pipes and an air chamber from an upper reservoir to a lower reservoir. The intake is a trompe, which uses water flow to pump air to a separation chamber; air trapped in the chamber then drives an airlift pump. The top of the pipe that connects the upper reservoir to the air chamber is ...
