  2. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

    A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.

  3. Boiler blowdown - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_blowdown

    A pipe near the bottom of the blowoff tank maintains a water level below the blowdown entry point and allows cooler water remaining from earlier blowdown events to drain from the tank first. Two bottom blowdown valves are often used in series to minimize erosion. One valve serves as the sealing valve, and the other as the blowdown valve.

  4. Condensate pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensate_pump

    The output of small condensate pumps is usually routed to a sewer, plumbing drain, or the outside world via PVC plastic tubing (condensate drain line). In some locales, condensate water is not permitted to enter a sewer system and must be directed to the outside of the house, usually into the leader/gutter downspout system, or the stormwater ...

  5. Condensing boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensing_boiler

    Condensing boilers are water heaters typically used for heating systems that are fueled by gas or oil. When operated in the correct circumstances, a heating system can achieve high efficiency (greater than 90% on the higher heating value) by condensing water vapour found in the exhaust gases in a heat exchanger to preheat the circulating water.

  6. Reduced pressure zone device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_pressure_zone_device

    A reduced pressure zone device (RPZD, RPZ, or RPZ valve) is a type of backflow prevention device used to protect water supplies from contamination. RPZDs may also be known as reduced pressure principle (RP), reduced pressure principle backflow prevention devices , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] reduced pressure zone assemblies (RPZA), [ 3 ] or reduced pressure ...

  7. Plumbing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing

    Due to its toxicity, most cities moved away from lead water-supply piping by the 1920s in the United States, [36] although lead pipes were approved by national plumbing codes into the 1980s, [37] and lead was used in plumbing solder for drinking water until it was banned in 1986. [36] Drain and vent lines are made of plastic, steel, cast iron ...

  8. Valve leakage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_leakage

    Class V valves leak less than 5 × 10 −12 cubic metres, per second, per bar of pressure differential, per millimetre of port diameter, of water when tested at the service pressure. Class VI valves are slightly different in that they are required (at 50 psi (340 kPa) or operating pressure, whichever is less) to have less than a specified ...

  9. Surface condenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_condenser

    A surface condenser is a water-cooled shell and tube heat exchanger installed to condense exhaust steam from a steam turbine in thermal power stations. [1] [2] [3] These condensers are heat exchangers which convert steam from its gaseous to its liquid state at a pressure below atmospheric pressure. Where cooling water is in short supply, an air ...
