  2. Compressed air foam system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_foam_system

    A compressed air foam system is defined as a standard water pumping system that has an entry point where compressed air can be added to a foam solution to generate foam. The air compressor also provides energy, which, gallon for gallon, propels compressed air foam rather than aspirated or standard water nozzles. It is proven that CAFS attacks ...

  3. Compressed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

    Compressed air is air kept under a pressure that is greater than atmospheric pressure. Compressed air in vehicle tyres and shock absorbers is commonly used for improved traction and reduced vibration. Compressed air is an important medium for transfer of energy in industrial processes, and is used for power tools such as air hammers, drills ...

  4. Bitterant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitterant

    The bitterant not only leaves a bitter flavor in the air, but also leaves a bitter residue on objects, like screens and keyboards, that may transfer to hands and cause problems (such as when eating). Game cartridges for the Nintendo Switch are coated with denatonium as a safety feature to deter small children from ingesting them.

  5. Compressed-air energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_energy_storage

    A pressurized air tank used to start a diesel generator set in Paris Metro. Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. [1]

    Applied using eductor or compressed air foam system (CAFS) and pumped through fire hose to a foam nozzle (or sometimes a less-effective fog nozzle). Attack hose (Attack line) A use classification of a fire fighting hose connected to output of a pump or other pressure source (e.g., gravity). Fire hose used to apply water or other fire fighting ...

  7. Cabin pressurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabin_pressurization

    Cabin pressurization is a process in which conditioned air is pumped into the cabin of an aircraft or spacecraft in order to create a safe and comfortable environment for humans flying at high altitudes. For aircraft, this air is usually bled off from the gas turbine engines at the compressor stage, and for spacecraft, it is carried in high ...

  8. Fireless locomotive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireless_locomotive

    Preserved H.K. Porter, Inc. No. 3290 of 1923 powered by compressed air. A fireless locomotive is a type of locomotive which uses reciprocating engines powered from a reservoir of compressed air or steam, which is filled at intervals from an external source. They offer advantages over conventional steam locomotives of lower cost per unit ...

  9. Work in compressed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_in_compressed_air

    Traditionally, compressed air work was limited to maximum ambient pressures of between 3 and 4 bars (3.0 and 3.9 atm), but experience with offshore saturation diving shows that higher pressures can be managed at acceptable risk using the techniques developed in that industry, including saturation exposures and the use of breathing gases other than air.
