  2. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

    Industrial pressure switches may have a calibrated scale and pointer to show the set point of the switch. A pressure switch will have a hysteresis, that is, a differential range around its setpoint, known as the switch's deadband, inside which small changes of pressure do not influence the state of the contacts. Some types allow adjustment of ...

  3. Fire pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_pump

    A jockey pump, also known as a pressure-maintenance pump, is a small pump connected to a fire suppression system near the fire pump and is intended to maintain pressure in a fire protection piping system. These pumps recover pressures lost from gradual, slow pressure declines in a system due to temperature changes, trapped air escapement, or ...

  4. Variable speed fire pump controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_fire_pump...

    Variable Speed Fire Pump Controllers were invented and released with a UL Listing for fire pump service in 2003 by Master Control Systems, Inc. [1] [2] Paragraph 10.5.5 in the 2003 edition of NFPA-20 recognized Variable Speed as an accepted method for operating the fire pump. Then in the NFPA-20 2007 edition, section 10.10 was added to clarify ...

  5. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    Pressure regulator for domestic water supply. Outlet pressure is set with the blue handwheel and shown on the vertical scale. A water pressure regulating valve limits inflow by dynamically changing the valve opening so that when less pressure is on the outside, the valve opens up fully, and too much pressure on the outside causes the valve to shut.

  6. User guide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_guide

    User's guide for a Dulcitone keyboard. A user guide, also commonly known as a user manual, is intended to assist users in using a particular product, service or application. It is usually written by a technician, product developer, or a company's customer service staff. Most user guides contain both a written guide and associated images.

  7. Water-tube boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-tube_boiler

    A high pressure watertube boiler [1] (also spelled water-tube and water tube) is a type of boiler in which water circulates in tubes heated externally by fire. Fuel is burned inside the furnace , creating hot gas which boils water in the steam-generating tubes.

  8. Air pressurized water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pressurized_water

    APW extinguishers are commonly converted into makeshift CAFS extinguishers by drilling two 1.6–3.2 mm (1 ⁄ 16 – 1 ⁄ 8 in) holes in the pickup tube. The unit is then filled with 5.7 litres (1.5 US gal) of water and Class A foam, aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), film-forming fluoroprotein (FFFP) or commercial detergent is added to the water in a 1% ratio for class A fires and a 3–6% ...

  9. Pressure control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_control

    Pressure control (PC) is a mode of mechanical ventilation alone and a variable within other modes of mechanical ventilation. Pressure control is used to regulate pressures applied during mechanical ventilation. Air delivered into the patients lungs (breaths) are currently regulated by Volume Control or Pressure Control. In pressure controlled ...
