  2. Circulator pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulator_pump

    A circulator pump or circulating pump is a specific type of pump used to circulate gases, liquids, or slurries in a closed circuit with small elevation changes. They are commonly found circulating water in a hydronic heating or cooling system.

  3. Reciprocating pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_pump

    Reciprocating pump has wide application and to clear the basic idea it is necessary to know the basic parts. The basic parts along with its function; Water reservoir - it is not a part of reciprocating pump, however, it is the main source where from the reciprocating pump takes the water. It may be a source of other fluid as well.

  4. GE BWR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_BWR

    Variable speed pumps were replaced with two-speed pumps (each rated at 35,400 US gallons per minute (2.23 m 3 /s) for a discharge pressure head of 865 feet (264 m)), and a flow control valve (adjustable from 22% open to 100% open with a linear flow response) was added to each loop for use in regulating recirculation flow (capable of regulating ...

  5. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

    On-demand recirculating pumps are often used to minimize hot water wait times from tankless water heaters and save water being wasted down the drain. On-demand recirculating pumps are activated by push-button or other sensor. A water contacting temperature probe installed at the hot water usage point signals the pump to stop.

  6. Forced circulation boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_circulation_boiler

    Water is introduced into the steam drum and is circulated around the boiler, leaving only as steam. What makes the forced circulation boiler different is its use of a secondary pump that circulates water through the boiler. The secondary pump takes the feed water going to the boiler and raises the pressure of the water going in.

  7. Liquid-ring pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-ring_pump

    Single-stage vacuum pumps typically produce vacuum to 35 torr (mm Hg) or 47 millibars (4.7 kPa), and two-stage pumps can produce vacuum to 25 torr, assuming air is being pumped and the ring-liquid is water at 15 °C (59 °F) or less. Dry air and 15 °C sealant-water temperature is the standard performance basis, which most manufacturers use for ...

  8. Boiling water reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_water_reactor

    The forced recirculation head from the recirculation pumps is very useful in controlling power, however, and allows achieving higher power levels that would not otherwise be possible. The thermal power level is easily varied by simply increasing or decreasing the forced recirculation flow through the recirculation pumps.

  9. Water timer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_timer

    The solenoid/diaphragm timer uses more battery power throughout the "on" cycle because the solenoid must be actuated the entire time that the water flow is "on". The ball valve timer using the motor and gear actuator only uses more battery power during the few seconds that motor is used to turn the water flow on or off.
