  2. Tesla valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_valve

    This lends support to Tesla's patent assertion that in the valvular conduit in his diagram, a pressure ratio "approximating 200 can be obtained so that the device acts as a slightly leaking valve". [1] Steady flow experiments, including with the original design, however, show smaller ratios of the two resistances in the range of 2 to 4. [4]

  3. Double check valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_check_valve

    A double check valve or double check assembly (DCA) is a backflow prevention device designed to protect water supplies from contamination. [1] It is different from the two-way check valves (sometimes erroneously referred to as double check valves) used in air brake systems on heavy trucks which select from the highest pressure source.

  4. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

    The simplest, most reliable way to provide backflow prevention is to provide an air gap. An air gap is simply an open vertical space between any device that connects to a plumbing system (like a valve or faucet) and any place where contaminated water can collect or pool. A simple air gap has no moving parts, other than flowing water.

  5. Reduced pressure zone device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_pressure_zone_device

    A reduced pressure zone device (RPZD, RPZ, or RPZ valve) is a type of backflow prevention device used to protect water supplies from contamination. RPZDs may also be known as reduced pressure principle (RP), reduced pressure principle backflow prevention devices, [1] [2] reduced pressure zone assemblies (RPZA), [3] or reduced pressure principle ...

  6. Atmospheric vacuum breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_vacuum_breaker

    An Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB) is a backflow prevention device used in plumbing to prevent backflow of non-potable liquids into the drinking water system. Diagram of Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker in both working states.

  7. Blowout preventer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_preventer

    The original ram BOPs of the 1920s were simple and rugged manual devices with minimal parts. The BOP housing (body) had a vertical well bore and horizontal ram cavity (ram guide chamber). Opposing rams (plungers) in the ram cavity translated horizontally, actuated by threaded ram shafts (piston rods) in the manner of a screw jack.

  8. Backflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow

    Backflow is a term in plumbing for an unwanted flow of water in the reverse direction. [1] It can be a serious health risk for the contamination of potable water supplies with foul water . In the most obvious case, a toilet flush cistern and its water supply must be isolated from the toilet bowl.

  9. Air gap (plumbing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_gap_(plumbing)

    This arrangement prevents any contaminants in the sink from entering into the potable water system by siphonage; this is the simplest form of backflow prevention. A common use of the term "air gap" in domestic plumbing refers to a specialized fixture that provides backflow prevention for an installed dishwasher. This "air gap" is visible above ...
