  2. Faucet aerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faucet_aerator

    When an aerator is added to the faucet (or fluid stream), there is a region of high pressure created behind the aerator. Because of the higher pressure behind the aerator and the low pressure in front of it (outside the faucet), due to Bernoulli's principle there is an increase in velocity of the fluid flow.

  3. Ballcock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballcock

    The valve is connected to the incoming water supply, and is opened and closed by the lever which has the float mounted on the end. When the water level rises, the float rises with it; once it rises to a pre-set level, the mechanism forces the lever to close the valve and shut off the water flow.

  4. Float chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_chamber

    Float chamber (left) of an updraught carburettor, showing the float (4) and valve (5). A float chamber is a device for automatically regulating the supply of a liquid to a system. It is most typically found in the carburettor of an internal combustion engine , where it automatically meters the fuel supply to the engine.

  5. Automatic bleeding valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_bleeding_valve

    The valve must always be installed vertically, usually at the top of a short vertical pipe. If the valve body is filled with water, the float moves upwards and closes the valve. If air collects in the valve body, the waterline lowers, as does the float, and the valve opens to release it. [4]

  6. Water aeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_aeration

    The low speed surface aerator is a device for biology aeration with high efficiency. These devices are often in steel protected by epoxy coating and generate high torque. The mixing of water volume is excellent. The common power is going from 1 up to 250kw per unit with an efficiency (SOE) around 2 kgO2/kw.

  7. Jet aerators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_aerators

    Their primary purpose is to transfer oxygen to the liquid or sludge. A Jet aerator works through aspirating technology by simultaneously introducing large volumes of high kinetic energy liquid and air through one or more jet nozzles. The high velocity liquid exits the inner, primary jet and rapidly mixes with the incoming air in the outer jet.

  8. Deaerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaerator

    The tray-type deaerator has a vertical domed deaeration section mounted above a horizontal boiler feedwater storage vessel. Boiler feedwater enters the vertical deaeration section through spray valves above the perforated trays and then flows downward through the perforations. Low-pressure deaeration steam enters below the perforated trays and ...

  9. Airlift pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airlift_pump

    Conventional airlift pumps have a flow rate that is very limited. The pump is either on or off. It is very difficult to get a wide range of proportional flow control by varying the volume of compressed air. This is a dramatic disadvantage in some parts of a small wastewater treatment plant, such as the aerator. [5] the suction is limited.
