    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

    In the U.S., every plumbing fixture must also be coupled to the system's vent piping. [1] Without a vent, negative pressure can slow the flow of water leaving the system, resulting in clogs, or cause siphonage to empty a trap. The high point of the vent system (the top of its "soil stack") must be open to the exterior at atmospheric pressure.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimney_(locomotive)

    The difficulty of casting complex spark arrestors encouraged fabrication of sheet metal chimneys for wood-burning locomotives. [5] Fifty-seven of over one thousand locomotive spark arrestors patented in the United States, 1857. Early spark arrestors were simply iron wire screens installed within the stack. However, the screen reduced the rate ...

    The Spark Arrester Guide is used by field inspectors and consumers to verify product certification status. Manufacturers pursuing spark arrester qualification in the United States should consult the USDA Forest Service's "Manufacturer's Submission Procedure" for both general purpose [ 6 ] and small engine [ 7 ] spark arresters.

    The problem with NOT wrapping (especially when dictated by templates), is that it works for 90% of the cases. But there is also the 10% of cases where the value is too small to fit in the infobox or on a mobile screen in 1 line. But the templates can't make that distinction, so it's generally a bad idea to put 'no wrap' as a default in a template.

  6. Scrubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrubber

    Removal efficiency of pollutants is improved by increasing residence time in the scrubber or by the increase of surface area of the scrubber solution by the use of a spray nozzle, packed towers or an aspirator. Wet scrubbers may increase the proportion of water in the gas, resulting in a visible stack plume, if the gas is sent to a stack.

  7. Flashback arrestor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashback_arrestor

    Flashback arrestors with different size and flow rate, and different connections. A flashback arrestor [1] or flash arrestor is a gas safety device most commonly used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting to stop the flame or reverse flow of gas back up into the equipment or supply line. It protects the user and equipment from damage or explosions.

  8. Grease trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_trap

    While their tanks passively intercept grease, they have an automatic, motorized mechanism for removing the grease from the tank and isolating it in a container. These interceptors must meet the same efficiency standards as a passive HGI, but must also meet an additional standard that proves they are capable of skimming the grease effectively.

    The largest detonation flame arrester ever built at the time, weighing 10 tons, for 30 inch pipe. Pictured with Dwight Brooker A detonation flame arrester (also spelled arrestor ) is a device fitted to the opening of an enclosure or to the connecting pipe work of a system of enclosures and whose intended function is to allow flow but prevent ...
