  2. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

    Switching off an electrically driven gas compressor when a set pressure is achieved in the reservoir; Switching off a gas compressor, whenever there is no feed in the suction stage. in-cell charge control in a battery; Switching on an alarm light in the cockpit of an aircraft if cabin pressure (based on altitude) is critically low.

  3. Railway air brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_air_brake

    The pressurized air comes from an air compressor in the locomotive and is sent from car to car by a train line made up of pipes beneath each car and hoses between cars. The principal problem with the straight air braking system is that any separation between hoses and pipes causes loss of air pressure and hence the loss of the force applying ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_circuit

    The direction control valve is used to control the direction of flow of compressed air. They are usually classified into normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) valves. The normally open valves will permit flow from the inlet port of the valve to the outlet port, normally the flow will be cut by changing the position of the valve.

  5. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    Air compressors are used in industrial, commercial, and home workshop environments to perform an assortment of jobs including blowing things clean; running air powered tools; and inflating things like tires, balls, etc. Regulators are often used to adjust the pressure coming out of an air receiver (tank) to match what is needed for the task.

  6. Rupture disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupture_disc

    A rupture disc (burst) Pressure-effect acting at a rupture disc A rupture disc, also known as a pressure safety disc, burst disc, bursting disc, or burst diaphragm, is a non-reclosing pressure relief safety device that, in most uses, protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from overpressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions.

  7. 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.

  8. 1. You Could Be on a High Electricity Rate. A high cost per kilowatt hour is the likeliest culprit behind a high energy bill. Even a minor change in wholesale pricing can lead to bill hikes.

  9. Environmental control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_control_system

    On jetliners, air is supplied to the ECS by being bled from a compressor stage of each gas turbine engine, upstream of the combustor. The temperature and pressure of this bleed air varies according to which compressor stage is used, and the power setting of the engine. A manifold pressure regulating shut-off valve (MPRSOV) restricts the flow as ...
