  3. Hydraulic compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_compressor

    A hydraulic compressor is a means of compressing air using hydraulic energy. There are two very different types of machines referred to as hydraulic compressors. One type is a mechanical air compressor that is driven by a hydraulic motor. It is a method of converting hydraulic power to pneumatic power. [1]

  4. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the compressor blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which drive the compressor blades. 1. Intake 2. Low pressure compression 3. High pressure compression ...

    ADC (from "Aircraft Disposal Company") [3] bought 35,000 war-surplus engines in 1920. Initially produced engines from Renault 70 hp spares.. ADC Cirrus. ADC Airdisco; ADC Cirrus; ADC Nimbus, development of Siddeley Puma

  6. Rotary-screw compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary-screw_compressor

    Principal view of the pumping action of a twin-screw pump with a six-lobe female screw and a five-lobe male screw. A compressor (as opposed to a pump) would be shaped the same way, except that the shape of the lobes would change along the length of the screw, so that the volume of the trapped pockets would get squeezed smaller as they get closer to the exhaust port.

    A TF30-P-109 from an RAAF F-111 at Defence Force Air Show RAAF Amberley, October 2008. The F-111A, EF-111A and F-111E used the TF30-P-3 turbofan. [6] The F-111 had problems with inlet compatibility, and many faulted the placement of the intakes behind the disturbed air of the wing.

  8. Power transfer unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_transfer_unit

    In aviation, a power transfer unit (PTU) is a device that transfers hydraulic power from one of an aircraft's hydraulic systems to another in the event that the other system has failed or been turned off.

  9. Centrifugal compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_compressor

    The simplest inlet to a centrifugal compressor is typically a simple pipe. Depending upon its use/application inlets can be very complex. They may include other components such as an inlet throttle valve, a shrouded port, an annular duct (see Figure 1.1), a bifurcated duct, stationary guide vanes/airfoils used to straight or swirl flow (see Figure 1.1), movable guide vanes (used to vary pre ...
