2. Bleed air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_air

   Bleed air in aerospace engineering is compressed air taken from the compressor stage of a gas turbine, upstream of its fuel-burning sections.Automatic air supply and cabin pressure controller (ASCPC) valves bleed air from low or high stage engine compressor sections; low stage air is used during high power setting operation, and high stage air is used during descent and other low power setting ...

3. Compressor map - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

   Compressor surge is a particular problem during slam-accelerations and can be overcome by suitable adjustments to the fueling schedule and/or use of blow-off (bleeding air off the compressor, for handling purposes). In the particular example shown, a slam-acceleration from ground idle would cause a high-pressure compressor surge.

4. 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.

5. Compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

   Beyond about 5 stages or a 4:1 design pressure ratio a compressor will not function unless fitted with features such as stationary vanes with variable angles (known as variable inlet guide vanes and variable stators), the ability to allow some air to escape part-way along the compressor (known as interstage bleed) and being split into more than ...

6. Gas turbine engine compressors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine_engine_compressors

   Through the compressor, the flow area decreases and the blades get smaller and smaller from stage to stage and this compensates for the increase of air pressure and density, creating a constant axial velocity. In axial compressors, there may be up to 20 stages between the air inlet and compressor outlet.

7. Automatic bleeding valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_bleeding_valve

   An automatic bleeding valve or air release valve (ARV) is a plumbing valve used to automatically release trapped air from a heating system. Air, or other gas, may collect within plumbing. For water delivery systems to taps and basins, particularly with good main supply pressure, this air is usually flushed through with the water flow and does ...

8. Pneumatic tool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_tool

   A pneumatic tool, air tool, air-powered tool or pneumatic-powered tool is a type of power tool, driven by compressed air supplied by an air compressor. Pneumatic tools can also be driven by compressed carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) stored in small cylinders allowing for portability.

9. Air cycle machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_cycle_machine

   Bleed air from the engines, an auxiliary power unit, or a ground source, which can be in excess of 150 °C and at a pressure of perhaps 32 psi (220 kPa), [1] is directed into a primary heat exchanger. Outside air at ambient temperature and pressure is used as the coolant in this air-to-air heat exchanger.
