  2. Vacuum fluorescent display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_fluorescent_display

    A VFD operates on the principle of cathodoluminescence, roughly similar to a cathode-ray tube, but operating at much lower voltages. Each tube in a VFD has a phosphor-coated carbon anode that is bombarded by electrons emitted from the cathode filament. [1] [2] In fact, each tube in a VFD is a triode vacuum tube because it also has a mesh ...

    TVDRT – true vertical depth (referenced to) rotary table zero datum; TVDKB – true vertical depth (referenced to) top kelly bushing zero datum; TVDSS – true vertical depth (referenced to) mean sea level zero datum; TVELD – time and velocity to depth; TVRF – true vertical depth versus repeat formation tester; TWT – two-way time (seismic)

  4. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

    Small variable-frequency drive Chassis of above VFD (cover removed). A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, variable voltage variable frequency drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the ...

  5. Variable-speed air compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-speed_air_compressor

    A variable-speed drive (VSD) air compressor is an air compressor that takes advantage of variable-speed drive technology. This type of compressor uses a special drive to control the speed ( RPM ) of the unit, which in turn saves energy compared to a fixed speed equivalent. [ 1 ]

  6. Nixie tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixie_tube

    The VFD uses a hot filament to emit electrons, a control grid and phosphor-coated anodes (similar to a cathode-ray tube) shaped to represent segments of a digit, pixels of a graphical display, or complete letters, symbols, or words. Whereas Nixies typically require 180 volts to illuminate, VFDs only require relatively low voltages to operate ...

  7. Vector control (motor) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_control_(motor)

    In vector control, an AC induction or synchronous motor is controlled under all operating conditions like a separately excited DC motor. [21] That is, the AC motor behaves like a DC motor in which the field flux linkage and armature flux linkage created by the respective field and armature (or torque component) currents are orthogonally aligned such that, when torque is controlled, the field ...

    For the same application, the program would select a 125 kW gen-set when using a variable frequency drive and a primary reactor bypass with a 30% starting voltage drop, cutting the gen-set in half (Slides 36–39). [5] Energy Savings – "Most motors turn at nearly constant speed. However, much of the time the devices they drive operate at less ...

  9. Process flow diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_flow_diagram

    A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment. The PFD displays the relationship between major equipment of a plant facility and does not show minor details such as piping details and designations.
