  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.

  4. Chemical cartridge - Wikipedia

    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. 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.

  6. Gas duster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_duster

    Gas duster can be used for cleaning dust off surfaces such as keyboards, as well as sensitive electronics in which moisture is not desired. When using gas duster, it is recommended to not hold the can upside down, as this can result in spraying liquid on to the surface.

  7. History of manufactured fuel gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_manufactured...

    Of the total work of condensation, 87% was accounted for in removing water vapor and the remainder was used to cool permanent gases and to condensing liquefiable hydrocarbon. [26] As extremely finely divided particles were also suspended in the gas, it was impossible to separate the particulate matter solely by a reduction of vapor pressure.

  8. 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.

  9. Inhalant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhalant

    The effects of inhalants range from an alcohol-like intoxication and intense euphoria to vivid hallucinations, depending on the substance and the dose. Some inhalant users are injured due to the harmful effects of the solvents or gases or due to other chemicals used in the products that they are inhaling.
