  2. Vortex tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_tube

    A control valve in the hot air exhaust adjusts temperatures, flows and refrigeration over a wide range. [24] [25] Vortex tubes are used for cooling of cutting tools (lathes and mills, both manually-operated and CNC machines) during machining. The vortex tube is well-matched to this application: machine shops generally already use compressed air ...

  3. Pulse tube refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_tube_refrigerator

    In most coolers gas is compressed and expanded periodically. Well-known coolers such as the Stirling engine coolers and the popular Gifford-McMahon coolers have a displacer that ensures that the cooling (due to expansion) takes place in a different region of the machine than the heating (due to compression). Due to its clever design, the PTR ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffle_(heat_transfer)

    In this way it is vital that they are spaced correctly at installation. The minimum baffle spacing is the greater of 50.8 mm or one fifth of the inner shell diameter. The maximum baffle spacing is dependent on material and size of tubes. The Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association [5] sets out guidelines. There are also segments with a "no ...

  6. Environmental control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_control_system

    Control panel for a Boeing 737-800 ECS. In aeronautics, an environmental control system (ECS) of an aircraft is an essential component which provides air supply, thermal control and cabin pressurization for the crew and passengers. Additional functions include the cooling of avionics, smoke detection, and fire suppression.

  7. Control panel (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_panel_(engineering)

    A control panel is a flat, often vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed or it is an enclosed unit that is the part of a system [1] that users can access, such as the control panel of a security system (also called control unit).

  8. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

    The thermostat controls the fan speed and/or the flow of water or refrigerant to the heat exchanger using a control valve. Due to their simplicity, flexibility, and easy maintenance, fan coil units can be more economical to install than ducted 100% fresh air systems (VAV) or central heating systems with air handling units or chilled beams. FCUs ...

  9. Temperature control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_control

    Temperature measuring and controlling module for microcontroller experiment. Temperature control is a process in which change of temperature of a space (and objects collectively there within), or of a substance, is measured or otherwise detected, and the passage of heat energy into or out of the space or substance is adjusted to achieve a desired temperature.
