  2. Cardiac allograft vasculopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_allograft_vasculopathy

    Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a progressive type of coronary artery disease in people who have had a heart transplant. [1] As the donor heart has lost its nerve supply there is typically no chest pain, and CAV is usually detected on routine testing. [2] It may present with symptoms such as tiredness and breathlessness. [2]

  3. Constant air volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_air_volume

    Constant air volume (CAV) is a type of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system. In a simple CAV system, the supply air flow rate is constant, but the supply air temperature is varied to meet the thermal loads of a space. [1] Most CAV systems are small, and serve a single thermal zone.

  4. Compressed-air vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_vehicle

    A compressed-air vehicle (CAV) is a transport mechanism fueled by tanks of pressurized atmospheric gas and propelled by the release and expansion of the gas within a pneumatic motor. CAV's have found application in torpedoes , locomotives used in situations where standard locomotives are a hazard, and early prototype submarines .

  5. Vehicle classification by propulsion system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_Classification_by...

    CAV - Compressed Air Vehicle - vehicle drives on energy harvested from expansion of compressed air. Nuclear-Powered Vehicle - vehicle drives on energy generated by nuclear reaction. ECE Vehicle - External Combustion Engine Vehicle - vehicle drives on external combustion engine.

  6. Variable air volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_air_volume

    Unlike constant air volume (CAV) systems, which supply a constant airflow at a variable temperature, VAV systems vary the airflow at a constant or varying temperature. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The advantages of VAV systems over constant-volume systems include more precise temperature control, reduced compressor wear, lower energy consumption by system fans ...

    In 2004, DARPA announced the Underwater Express program, a research and evaluation program to demonstrate the use of supercavitation for a high-speed underwater craft application. The US Navy's ultimate goal is a new class of underwater craft for littoral missions that can transport small groups of navy personnel or specialized military cargo ...

    Comparison of several forms of disk storage showing tracks (not-to-scale); green denotes start and red denotes end. * Some CD-R(W) and DVD-R(W)/DVD+R(W) recorders operate in ZCLV, CAA or CAV modes. In optical storage , constant linear velocity ( CLV ) is a qualifier for the rated speed of an optical disc drive , and may also be applied to the ...
