  2. Pressuretrol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressuretrol

    The main setting is accessible from the outside of the controller, but the differential is often located inside the controller box, and typically the cover must be removed by removing a screw to access the differential control. If the main setting is a cut-in setting, then the differential setting sets the cut-out setpoint by adding to the cut ...

  3. Reduced pressure zone device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_pressure_zone_device

    The reduced pressure is guaranteed by a differential pressure relief valve, which automatically relieves excess pressure in the chamber by discharging to a drain. Four test cocks are installed to allow an inspector to verify proper operation of the valve with a differential pressure meter.

  4. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    Pressure regulator for domestic water supply. Outlet pressure is set with the blue handwheel and shown on the vertical scale. A water pressure regulating valve limits inflow by dynamically changing the valve opening so that when less pressure is on the outside, the valve opens up fully, and too much pressure on the outside causes the valve to shut.

  5. Aquastat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquastat

    The low limit is intended for tankless domestic hot water; it ensures that boiler water is always warm enough to heat the domestic hot water. Many aquastats also have a differential (diff) control which determines the size of the range around the low and/or high controls.

  6. Relief valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief_valve

    A relief valve DN25 on cooling water pipe from heat exchanger Schematic diagram of a conventional spring-loaded pressure relief valve. A relief valve or pressure relief valve (PRV) is a type of safety valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system; excessive pressure might otherwise build up and create a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, explosion, or fire.

  7. Hydraulic manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_manifold

    A manifold is composed of assorted hydraulic valves connected to each other. It is the various combinations of states of these valves that allow complex control behaviour in a manifold. [ 1 ] [ citation needed ] A hydraulic manifold is a block of metal with flow paths drilled through it, connecting various ports. [ 2 ]

  8. Double check valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_check_valve

    A double check valve or double check assembly (DCA) is a backflow prevention device designed to protect water supplies from contamination. [1] It is different from the two-way check valves (sometimes erroneously referred to as double check valves) used in air brake systems on heavy trucks which select from the highest pressure source.

  9. Wastegate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

    Some systems also use a differential pressure controller which senses the air pressures on either side of the throttle plate and adjusts the wastegate to maintain a set differential. This maintains an optimum balance between a low turbocharger workload and a quick spool-up time, and also prevents surging caused by a bootstrapping effect.
