  2. Marine heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_heat_exchanger

    Shell and tube heat exchangers require tubes to be plugged upon the detection of a leak. This prevents the two liquids from mixing inside the heat exchangers. In order to perform regular maintenance on a plate type heat exchanger, the plate stack is separated and the plates a cleaned to improve heat transfer.

  3. Baffle (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffle_(heat_transfer)

    It is used in some household stoves [1] and in some industrial process vessels (tanks), such as shell and tube heat exchangers, chemical reactors, and static mixers. Baffles are an integral part of the shell and tube heat exchanger design. A baffle is designed to support tube bundles and direct the flow of fluids for maximum

  4. Tubing (recreation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubing_(recreation)

    Pump – Is either a manual or an electric device used to inflate a tube or raft. Raft – Is a boat shaped inflatable that can hold 1 or more tubers plus supplies. Rafts often come with oars, but the oars are not necessary for tubing. Tube – Is the vehicle used to stay afloat while tubing, often inflatable.

  5. Shell-and-tube heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell-and-tube_heat_exchanger

    Shell and tube===Fluid Flow=== In shell and tube heat exchangers, there are two distinct fluid streams for heat transfer. The tube fluid circulates inside the tubes, while the shell fluid flows around them, guided by various types of baffles (e.g., segmental, helical, or disc-and-doughnut).

  6. Stuffing box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuffing_box

    A small boat stuffing box comprising an adjusting nut, a locking nut and a sleeve. On a boat having an inboard motor that turns a shaft attached to an external propeller, the shaft passes through a stuffing box, also called a "packing box" or "stern gland" in this application. The stuffing box prevents water from entering the boat's hull.

  7. Dorade box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorade_box

    The grey area indicates the deck of the boat. A dorade box (also called a dorade vent , collector box , cowl vent , or simply a "ventilator") is a type of vent that permits the passage of air in and out of the cabin or engine room of a boat while keeping rain, spray, and sea wash out.

  8. Jackstay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackstay

    Personnel transfer from USS Rankin by highline, a form of jackstay, 1960. A jackstay is a cable or bar between two points to support and guide a load between those points, or as an anchor to attach something to be constrained along that line. The term is mostly used in a marine context and originated on sailing ships.

  9. Tube (fluid conveyance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_(fluid_conveyance)

    A tube, or tubing, is a long hollow cylinder used for moving fluids (liquids or gases) or to protect electrical or optical cables and wires. The terms " pipe " and "tube" are almost interchangeable, although minor distinctions exist — generally, a tube has tighter engineering requirements than a pipe.
