2. Pressure tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_tank

   A simple control system for a water well. Referring to the figure on the left, a submersible water pump is installed in a well. The pressure switch turns the water pump on when it senses a pressure that is less than P lo and turns it off when it senses a pressure greater than P hi. While the pump is on, the pressure tank fills up.

3. Hydraulic accumulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_accumulator

   As the volume of the compressed gas changes, the pressure of the gas (and the pressure on the fluid) changes inversely. For low pressure water system use the water usually fills a rubber bladder within the tank (pictured), preventing contact with the tank which would otherwise need to be corrosion resistant.

4. Blowout (well drilling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_(well_drilling)

   He developed many patents and designs for the tools and techniques of oil firefighting. His father, Karl T. Kinley, attempted to extinguish an oil well fire with the help of a massive explosion—a method still in common use for fighting oil fires. Myron and Karl Kinley first successfully used explosives to extinguish an oil well fire in 1913. [30]

5. Central oil storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Oil_Storage

   The book Introduction to Architectural Science states about liquid fuel storage tanks, "often in a housing development a central storage tank is installed (usually underground) which will be filled by an oil company", and that a supply of liquid fuel is piped to individual apartments or houses from the central storage tank. [2]

6. Steam accumulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_accumulator

   Steam can be drawn off as required, either for driving a steam turbine or for process purposes (e.g. in chemical engineering), by opening a steam valve on top of the drum. . The pressure in the drum will fall but the reduced pressure causes more water to boil and the accumulator can go on supplying steam (while gradually reducing pressure and temperature) for some time before it has to be re-char

7. Blowout preventer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_preventer

   A blowout preventer (BOP) (pronounced B-O-P) [1] is a specialized valve or similar mechanical device, used to seal, control and monitor oil and gas wells to prevent blowouts, the uncontrolled release of crude oil or natural gas from a well. They are usually installed in stacks of other valves.
