  2. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

    Industrial pressure switches may have a calibrated scale and pointer to show the set point of the switch. A pressure switch will have a hysteresis, that is, a differential range around its setpoint, known as the switch's deadband, inside which small changes of pressure do not influence the state of the contacts. Some types allow adjustment of ...

  3. Zero-pressure balloons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-pressure_balloons

    A zero-pressure balloon (ZP) is a style of aerostatic balloon that is unsealed at its base, creating a mechanism by which lifting gas can vent out the bottom of the balloon when the balloon becomes full, allowing the balloon to float at stable altitudes. During the day the gas heats up in the sun, and at night the gas cools causing them to descend.

  4. Zero speed switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_speed_switch

    Zero speed switches (ZSS) also known as Speed Actuating Sensing Switches [1] are used to detect whether a rotating shaft is turning (even at very slow speeds) [2] in various machines, conveyors, power plants, and in industries involving the production of cement, sugar, textiles, paper, etc. Zero speed switches mainly use electromechanical, electronic, or magnetic proximity technologies.

  5. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    A typical nominal regulated gauge pressure from a medical oxygen regulator is 3.4 bars (50 psi), for an absolute pressure of approximately 4.4 bar and a pressure ratio of about 4.4 without back pressure, so they will have choked flow in the metering orifices for a downstream (outlet) pressure of up to about 2.3 bar absolute.

  6. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    Gauge pressure is zero-referenced against ambient air pressure, so it is equal to absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure. A tire pressure gauge is an example of gauge pressure measurement; when it indicates zero, then the pressure it is measuring is the same as the ambient pressure.

  7. Zero-turn mower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-turn_mower

    In 1974, the Dixon company coined the term zero-turn radius on their entrance into the mower market. [1] In 2009, the Hustler Zeon became the first fully electric zero-turn mower, with four 12-volt lead acid batteries. As of 2023 most fully electric zero turn mowers use lithium ion batteries ranging from 40 to 80 volts. [2] [3]

  8. Wheel Horse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_Horse

    The most popular model and year was the R-J58 Wheel Horse 1958, it came without a mowing deck, but one could be added. A new model was produced in 1958, which included a three-speed transmission. This transmission is called the Uni-Drive transmission that Elmer Pond designed in 60 days.

  9. Zero-crossing control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-crossing_control

    Zero-crossing control (or burst-fire control) is an approach for electrical control circuits that starts operation with the AC load voltage at close to 0 volts in the AC cycle. [1] This is in relation to solid-state relays, such as TRIACs and silicon controlled rectifiers . [ 1 ]
