  2. Cascade filling system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_filling_system

    A cascade filling system is a high-pressure gas cylinder storage system that is used for the refilling of smaller compressed gas cylinders. [1] [2] In some applications, each of the large cylinders is filled by a compressor, otherwise they may be filled remotely and replaced when the pressure is too low for effective transfer. The cascade ...

    Low pressure (40–70 psi or 280–480 kPa), high volume air from the compressor section of the APU is bled off through a system of pipes to the engines where it is directed into the starting system. This bleed air is directed into a mechanism to start the engine turning and begin pulling in air.

  4. High Pressure Pure Air Generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Pressure_Pure_Air...

    High Pressure Pure Air Generator (HiPPAG®) is a registered trade mark belonging to Ultra Electronics for a type of Pure Air Generating System (PAGS). [2] HiPPAG® is an integrated pure air compressor and filtration system, which continuously consumes atmospheric air during flight or on the ground, and then provides high pressure pure air to cryogenically cool the infrared detector in missile ...

  5. Propelling nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propelling_nozzle

    When afterburning engines are equipped with a C-D nozzle the throat area is variable. Nozzles for supersonic flight speeds, at which high nozzle pressure ratios are generated, [2] also have variable area divergent sections. [3] Turbofan engines may have an additional and separate propelling nozzle which further accelerates the bypass air.

  6. Cascade refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_refrigeration

    A cascade refrigeration cycle is a multi-stage thermodynamic cycle. An example two-stage process is shown at right. (Bottom on mobile) The cascade cycle is often employed for devices such as ULT freezers. [1] In a cascade refrigeration system, two or more vapor-compression cycles with different refrigerants are used.

  7. High altitude breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_altitude_breathing...

    A commonly used system manufactured by Poisk uses three high-pressure composite cylinders filled to 260 Bar at 20 degrees Celsius. The dimensions of the cylinders are 19 inches (480 mm) long, 4.25 inches (108 mm) diameter, and weight under 2.7 kilograms (6.0 lb). At a two-liter per minute flow the cylinders last approximately 6.5 hours each. [7]

  8. Compressed-air vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_vehicle

    The tanks must be designed to safety standards appropriate for a pressure vessel, such as ISO 11439. [6]The pressure vessels or air storage tanks that can be used in compressed-air vehicles can be made for low pressure (9 atm (130 psi)) or high (more than 240 atm (3,500 psi)), and can be made of composite materials like thermoplastic and fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, [7] [8] that means that ...

    Map of pressure systems across North America. A pressure system is a peak or lull in the sea level pressure distribution, a feature of synoptic-scale weather.The surface pressure at sea level varies minimally, with the lowest value measured 87 kilopascals (26 inHg) and the highest recorded 108.57 kilopascals (32.06 inHg).
