  2. Surge control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_control

    Surge control products have been used in many industries to protect the maximum working pressure of hydraulic system for decades. Typical applications for surge relief equipment is in pipelines at pump stations, receiving manifolds at storage facilities, back pressure control, marine loading/off loading, site specific applications where pressure surges are generated by the automation system ...

  3. Water hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

    Effect of a pressure surge on a float gauge. Hydraulic shock (colloquial: water hammer; fluid hammer) is a pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly: a momentum change. It is usually observed in a liquid but gases can also be affected.

  4. Compressor stall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_stall

    Axi-symmetric stall, more commonly known as compressor surge; or pressure surge, is a complete breakdown in compression resulting in a reversal of flow and the violent expulsion of previously compressed air out through the engine intake, due to the compressor's inability to continue working against the already-compressed air behind it.

  5. High pressure injection injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_pressure_injection_injury

    Most injuries are caused by inexperience using high-pressure equipment, improper use, inadequate training, negligence, exhaustion at the end of the shift, or equipment rupture. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Paints, paint solvents, grease, and fuel oils (diesel, paraffin, and gasoline) are the substances that are injected the most frequently, but reports of ...

  6. Piston pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_pump

    Piston pump compared to a plunger pump. A piston pump is a type of positive displacement pump where the high-pressure seal reciprocates with the piston. [1] Piston pumps can be used to move liquids or compress gases. They can operate over a wide range of pressures. High pressure operation can be achieved without adversely affecting flow rate.

  7. Hydraulic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_pump

    A hydraulic pump is a mechanical source of power that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy (hydrostatic energy i.e. flow, pressure). Hydraulic pumps are used in hydraulic drive systems and can be hydrostatic or hydrodynamic. They generate flow with enough power to overcome pressure induced by a load at the pump outlet.

  9. Booster pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booster_pump

    They may be constant speed pumps which switch on when pressure drops below the low pressure set-point and switch off when pressure reaches the high set-point, or variable speed pumps which are controlled to maintain a constant output pressure. Constant speed pumps are switched on by a normally closed low-pressure switch and will content to run ...
