  2. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    Diagram symbols for pressure reduction and back pressure regulators. The conceptual difference is mainly in which side the feedback is taken from. A pressure regulator is a valve that controls the pressure of a fluid to a desired value, using negative feedback from the controlled pressure. Regulators are used for gases and liquids, and can be ...

  3. Tesla valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_valve

    With no moving parts, Tesla valves are much more resistant to wear and fatigue, especially in applications with frequent pressure reversal such as a pulsejet. [5]A micrograph of a Tesla valve in a fixed-valve micro-pump, with flow from right to left restricted [6]

  4. Baffle (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffle_(heat_transfer)

    In this case the baffle helps increase the efficiency of the stove as more heat leaves the gas before it exits. The baffles prevent the rotational flow without affecting radial or longitudinal flow. The tank is provided with baffles which prevent swirling and vortex formation. Except in very large tanks, four(4) baffles are placed.

  5. Regulator (automatic control) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulator_(automatic_control)

    Examples are a voltage regulator (which can be a transformer whose voltage ratio of transformation can be adjusted, or an electronic circuit that produces a defined voltage), a pressure regulator, such as a diving regulator, which maintains its output at a fixed pressure lower than its input, and a fuel regulator (which controls the supply of ...

  6. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    The increased output pressure to the actuator causes the valve stem to move. Stem movement is fed back to the beam by means of a cam. As the cam rotates, the beam pivots about the feedback axis to move the flapper slightly away from the nozzle. The nozzle pressure decreases and reduces the output pressure to the actuator.

  7. Glossary of boiler terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_boiler_terms

    A pressure vessel for the creation of hot water or steam, for residential or commercial use. Boilersmith A craftsman skilled in the techniques required for the construction and repair of boilers - not to be confused with at boilermaker (common misconception). A boilermaker is a skilled metalworker, usually the member of a union of the same name ...

  8. Globe valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_valve

    Internal parts of a typical globe valve. The body is the main pressure-containing structure of the valve and the most easily identified as it forms the mass of the valve.It contains all of the valve's internal parts that will come in contact with the substance being controlled by the valve.

  9. Baffle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffle

    Baffle (liquid mixing), auxiliary devices employed in tank which suppress the effects of slosh dynamics; Baffle (heat transfer), a flow-directing or obstructing vane or panel used in some industrial process vessels (tanks) Baffle (medicine), a tunnel or wall surgically constructed within the heart or primary blood vessels to redirect blood flow
