2. Self-contained breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-contained_breathing...

   Some types are also referred to as a compressed air breathing apparatus (CABA) or simply breathing apparatus (BA). Unofficial names include air pack, air tank, oxygen cylinder or simply pack, terms used mostly in firefighting. If designed for use under water, it is also known as a scuba set (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus).

3. Cascade filling system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_filling_system

   Cascade storage is used at compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations. Typically three CNG tanks will be used, and a vehicle will first be fueled from one of them, which will result in an incomplete fill, perhaps to 2000 psig for a 3000 psig tank. The second and third tanks will bring the vehicle's tank closer to 3000 psi.

4. Compressed-air energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_energy_storage

   A pressurized air tank used to start a diesel generator set in Paris Metro. Compressed-air-energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. [1]

5. Compressed air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

   Compressed air is an important medium for the transfer of energy in industrial processes and is used for power tools such as air hammers, drills, wrenches, and others, as well as to atomize paint, to operate air cylinders for automation, and can also be used to propel vehicles. Brakes applied by compressed air made large railway trains safer ...

6. Bleed air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_air

   Bleed air in aerospace engineering is compressed air taken from the compressor stage of a gas turbine, upstream of its fuel-burning sections.Automatic air supply and cabin pressure controller (ASCPC) valves bleed air from low or high stage engine compressor sections; low stage air is used during high power setting operation, and high stage air is used during descent and other low power setting ...

7. Compressed-air vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_vehicle

   The tanks must be designed to safety standards appropriate for a pressure vessel, such as ISO 11439. [7]The pressure vessels or air storage tanks that can be used in compressed-air vehicles can be made of low pressure (9 atm (130 psi)) or high pressure (more than 240 atm (3,500 psi)), and can be made of composite materials like thermoplastic and fiber reinforced thermoplastics, [6] [8] that ...
