  2. Onboard refueling vapor recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onboard_refueling_vapor...

    An onboard refueling vapor recovery system (ORVR) is a vehicle fuel vapor emission control system that captures volatile organic compounds (VOC, potentially harmful vapors) during refueling. [ 1 ] [ page needed ] There are two types of vehicle fuel vapor emission control systems: the ORVR, and the Stage II vapor recovery system. [ 2 ]

  3. Smoke screen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_screen

    These are canister-type grenades used as a ground-to-ground or ground-to-air signalling device. The body consists of a steel sheet metal cylinder with a few emission holes on the top and/or bottom to allow smoke release when the smoke composition inside the grenade is ignited.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_cartridge

    Use of the TC-14G canister schedule or the TC-23C chemical cartridge schedule for a given respirator depends on whether "acid gas" is a designated contaminant, which is designated for gas mask canisters only, or if the manufacturer is obligated to list all designated contaminants supported by a given chemical cartridge.

  5. Vapor lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_lock

    Vapor lock is a problem caused by liquid fuel changing state to vapor while still in the fuel delivery system of gasoline-fueled internal combustion engines.This disrupts the operation of the fuel pump, causing loss of feed pressure to the carburetor or fuel injection system, resulting in transient loss of power or complete stalling.

  6. Vehicle emissions control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_emissions_control

    Fuel vapor storage canister for a Peugeot 205. Evaporative emissions are the result of gasoline vapors escaping from the vehicle's fuel system. Since 1971, all U.S. vehicles have had fully sealed fuel systems that do not vent directly to the atmosphere; mandates for systems of this type appeared contemporaneously in other jurisdictions.

  7. Mechanical vapor recompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_vapor_recompression

    Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) is an energy recovery process which can be used to recycle waste heat to improve efficiency. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Typically, the compressed vapor is fed back to help heat the mother liquor in order to produce more vapor or steam.

  8. Activated carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_carbon

    Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is a form of carbon commonly used to filter contaminants from water and air, among many other uses. It is processed ( activated ) to have small, low-volume pores that greatly increase the surface area [ 1 ] [ 2 ] available for adsorption or chemical reactions . [ 3 ] (

  9. Household air pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_air_pollution

    The problem is closely related to energy poverty and cooking. Smoke from traditional household solid fuel combustion commonly contains a range of incomplete combustion products , including both fine and coarse particulate matter (e.g., PM 2.5 , PM 10 ), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and a variety of ...
