  2. Damper (flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(flow)

    A damper may be used to cut off central air conditioning (heating or cooling) to an unused room, or to regulate it for room-by-room temperature and climate control - for example, in the case of Volume Control Dampers. [1] Its operation can be manual or automatic. Manual dampers are turned by a handle on the outside of a duct.

  3. Mandatory minute ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_minute_ventilation

    Mandatory minute ventilation is a volume control mode of ventilation and a derivative of intermittent mandatory ventilation. [1] Mandatory minute ventilation allows spontaneous breathing with automatic adjustments of mandatory ventilation to meet the patient’s preset minimum minute volume requirement.

  4. Automatic gain control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_gain_control

    Schematic of an AGC used in the analog telephone network; the feedback from output level to gain is effected via a Vactrol resistive opto-isolator.. Automatic gain control (AGC) is a closed-loop feedback regulating circuit in an amplifier or chain of amplifiers, the purpose of which is to maintain a suitable signal amplitude at its output, despite variation of the signal amplitude at the input.

  5. Variable air volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_air_volume

    Control of the system's fan capacity is critical in VAV systems. Without proper and rapid flow rate control, the system's ductwork, or its sealing, can easily be damaged by overpressurization. In the cooling mode of operation, as the temperature in the space is satisfied, a VAV box closes to limit the flow of cool air into the space.

  6. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure , temperature , and liquid level.

  7. Volume control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_control

    Volume control can refer to: Volume controlled continuous mandatory ventilation; Potentiometer, a feature on audio equipment for adjusting the sound level

  8. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    The most common final control element in the process control industries is the control valve. The control valve manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or chemical compounds, to compensate for the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point. [1]

  9. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    After receiving an operation command, the actuator moves the valve in direction OPEN or CLOSE. When reaching the end position, an automatic switch-off procedure is started. Two fundamentally different switch-off mechanisms can be used. The controls switch off the actuator as soon as the set tripping point has been reached. This is called limit ...
