Air cycle machines were first developed in the 19th century for providing chilling on ships. The technique is a reverse Brayton cycle (the thermodynamic cycle of a gas turbine engine) and is also known as a Bell Coleman cycle or "Air-Standard Refrigeration Cycle".
[4] [74] Variable power and/or variable voltage have an electronic chip allowing the user to adjust the power applied to the heating element. [21] [74] The amount of power applied to the coil affects the heat produced, thus changing the vapor output. [21] [61] Greater heat from the coil increases vapor production. [61]
An ignition coil is used in the ignition system of a spark-ignition engine to transform the battery voltage to the much higher voltages required to operate the spark plug(s). The spark plugs then use this burst of high-voltage electricity to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The ignition coil is constructed of two sets of coils wound around an iron ...
An exploded view of a typical e-cigarette design with transparent atomizer (labeled clearomizer in diagram) and changeable dual-coil head. An electronic cigarette consists of an atomizer, a power source such as a battery, [25] and a container for e-liquid such as a cartridge or tank.
A coil with a core which is a straight bar or other non-loop shape is called an open-core coil. This has lower magnetic field and inductance than a closed core, but is often used to prevent magnetic saturation of the core. A coil without a ferromagnetic core is called an air-core coil. [14]
Ignition system of a flat-twin Citroën 2CV. A wasted spark system is a type of ignition system used in some four-stroke cycle internal combustion engines.In a wasted spark system, the spark plugs fire in pairs, with one plug in a cylinder on its compression stroke and the other plug in a cylinder on its exhaust stroke.
For example, for a four-pole, three-phase motor, = 4 and = = 1,500 RPM (for = 50 Hz) and 1,800 RPM (for = 60 Hz) synchronous speed. The number of magnetic poles, , is the number of north and south poles per phase. For example; a single-phase motor with 3 north and 3 south poles, having 6 poles per phase, is a 6-pole motor.
All vane type air starters should have a lubricator installed to insure long-life and maximum performance. [4] Lubricators give the moving parts a needed friction barrier, reduce metal corrosion and keep vanes sealed properly against the cylinder walls. Even the so-called lube-free air starters require lubrication to prolong trouble free life.
