  2. Siphon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon

    Using piping of too great a diameter and then throttling the flow using valves or constrictive piping appears to increase the effect of previously cited concerns over gases or vapor collecting in the crest which serve to break the vacuum. If the vacuum is reduced too much, the siphon effect can be lost.

  3. Thermosiphon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosiphon

    Thermosyphon circulation in a simple solar water heater (not a working model; there is no water supply to replenish the tank when the tap is used). A thermosiphon (or thermosyphon) is a device that employs a method of passive heat exchange based on natural convection, which circulates a fluid without the necessity of a mechanical pump.

  4. Siphon tubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon_tubes

    Siphon tubes are a basic implement used in irrigation to transfer water over a barrier (such as the bank of a raised irrigation canal), using the siphon principle. At the simplest they consist of a pipe with no working parts. To work they rely on the water level in the canal being at a higher level than the water level in the field being irrigated.

  5. Jiggle syphon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiggle_syphon

    The chamber is somewhat wider than the pipe, and narrows to approximately the pipe diameter at both ends. One end attaches to the pipe, the other end is open to the liquid. Within the chamber is a sphere, denser than the liquid to be pumped, small enough to move freely within the chamber but large enough to not be able to leave the chamber.

  6. Peeler centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peeler_centrifuge

    Siphon peeler centrifuge has similar structure to Krauss-Maffei horizontal peeler centrifuge, except instead of inner drum wall with pores, siphon peeler centrifuge has solid inner drum wall where the liquid filtered through solid cake and filter medium will flow along the wall axially and through siphon pipe into separate chamber unlike ...

  7. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

    Back pressure can force an undesirable contaminant to enter potable water piping. Sources of back pressure may be boilers, heat exchanging equipment, power washing equipment, fire sprinklers, or pumps in the water distribution system. In some cases there may be an almost continuous risk of overcoming the static water pressure in the piping.

  8. Thermic siphon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermic_siphon

    The concept of a self-circulating thermic syphon began with stationary boilers and relatively simple Galloway tubes.They reached their peak in steam locomotive boilers, where the complexity of a syphon was justified by the need for a compact and lightweight means of increasing boiler capacity.

  9. Hydrostatic loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_loop

    Since a siphon has a maximum height that it can work (about 33 feet), a hydrostatic loop is built higher than 33 feet. There are several ways to prevent siphonage and an undesirable backflow of the water in a plumbing system.
