  2. Boiling water reactor safety systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_water_reactor...

    The IC automatically starts on low water level or high steam pressure indications. Once it starts, steam enters the IC condenser and condenses until it is filled with water. When the IC system is activated, a valve at the bottom of the IC condenser is opened which connects to a lower area of the reactor.

  3. Level sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

    Hydrostatic pressure level sensors are submersible or externally mounted pressure sensors suitable for measuring the level of corrosive liquids in deep tanks or water in reservoirs. Typically, fluid level is determined by the pressure at the bottom of the fluid containment (tank or reservoir); the pressure at the bottom, adjusted for the ...

  4. Sight glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sight_glass

    Water gauge on a steam locomotive. Here the water is at the “top nut”, the maximum working level. Note the patterned backplate to help reading and toughened glass shroud. A sight glass or water gauge is a type of level sensor, a transparent tube through which the operator of a tank or boiler can observe the level of liquid contained within.

  5. Staff gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staff_gauge

    A staff gauge or head gauge is calibrated scale which is used to provide a visual indication of liquid level. When installed perpendicular to an inclined or sloped surface, a staff gauge is usually calibrated so that the indicated level is the true vertical level .

  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 ...

  8. Level control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_control_valve

    A level control valve or altitude control valve is a type of valve that automatically responds to changes in the height of a liquid in some storage system. A common example is the set of ballcocks in a flush toilet , where each stage of the flush cycle is actuated by the emptying or filling of the tank.

  9. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, temperature, and liquid level.
