  2. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

    Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. A pressure switch is a form of switch that operates an electrical contact when a certain set fluid pressure has been reached on its input. The switch may be designed to make contact either on pressure rise or on pressure fall.

  3. Forced-air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air

    [2] [3] It is the design of this mechanism that determines the accuracy of maintaining the set flow rate, noise level, minimum regulator resistance, flow range and other parameters. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] There are different designs of the self-balancing mechanism that largely determine the technical characteristics of CAV regulators:

  4. Sail switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail_switch

    A sail switch, vane switch or flow switch is a mechanical switch that is actuated on or off in response to the flow or non-flow of a fluid such as air or water. [1] A sail switch typically operates through the use of a paddle or a diaphragm which gets displaced due to the force of fluid or air moving past it.

  5. Shutdown valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_valve

    Pneumatically actuated shut down valve A diagram of the internal components of a safety shutoff valve. When this type of valve is tripped, the flow is quickly stopped and an indicator disc tells the operator that the electrical circuit has been opened by a failure somewhere in the system

  6. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

    At the furnace, cool air passes into the furnace, usually through an air filter, through the blower, then through the heat exchanger of the furnace, whence it is blown throughout the building. One major advantage of this type of system is that it also enables easy installation of central air conditioning , simply by adding a cooling coil at the ...

  7. Process plant shutdown systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_plant_shutdown_systems

    [2] In a typical depressurization system, the goal is typically reduce the pressure in the plant to less than 50% of the design pressure or to 7 barg, whichever is lower, within 15 minutes. [2] Disposal of blowdown fluids is generally to flare systems or, if safe to do so, non-fired blowdown drums. Blowdown may be strategically delayed by fire ...

  8. Induction furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_furnace

    An induction furnace is an electrical furnace in which the heat is applied by induction heating of metal. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Induction furnace capacities range from less than one kilogram to one hundred tons, and are used to melt iron and steel , copper , aluminum , and precious metals .

  9. Oil burner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_burner

    An oil burner is a part attached to an oil furnace, water heater, or boiler. [1] It provides the ignition of heating oil/biodiesel fuel used to heat either air or water via a heat exchanger . The fuel is atomized into a fine spray usually by forcing it under pressure through a nozzle which gives the resulting flame a specific flow rate, angle ...
