  2. 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.

  3. Combimac - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combimac

    The company started in 1919 as a repair shop for direct current machines and transformed during the history into a designer and manufacturer of special electric motors. [8] [9] These electric motors are designed to drive and rotate all kinds of equipment, including pumps, compressors, winches, thrusters and radar systems, such as the SMART-L.

  4. Blowoff valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve

    The sound produced by compressor surge is called turbo flutter and the repeated, high speed cycling will cause a cyclic torque on the compressor and may lead to increased stresses on the bearings and compressor impeller. [2] A blowoff valve is designed to release pressure in the intake system when the throttle is closed.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitzer_SE

    The company started out by manufacturing expansion valves and 2-cylinder DC piston compressors. By 1959, Martin Bitzer had expanded his company to 206 employees and was exporting his products to 56 countries. In 1961, graduate engineer Ulrich Schaufler took over the Bitzer Kühlmaschinenbau GmbH company. He remained as its head until his death ...

  6. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

    Compressor surge is a form of aerodynamic instability in axial compressors or centrifugal compressors. The term describes violent air flow oscillating in the axial direction of a compressor, which indicates the axial component of fluid velocity varies periodically and may even become negative.

  7. Compressed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

    Air compressors, filters, and supply systems intended for breathing air are not generally also used for pneumatic tools or other purposes, as air quality requirements differ. [ 6 ] Workers constructing the foundations of bridges or other structures may be working in a pressurized enclosure called a caisson , where water is prevented from ...

  8. Nondestructive testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondestructive_testing

    Because NDT does not permanently alter the article being inspected, it is a highly valuable technique that can save both money and time in product evaluation, troubleshooting, and research. The six most frequently used NDT methods are eddy-current , magnetic-particle , liquid penetrant , radiographic , ultrasonic , and visual testing . [ 3 ]
