  2. Compressed air dryer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_dryer

    Compressed air dryers are special types of filter systems that are specifically designed to remove the water that is inherent in compressed air. The compression of air raises its temperature and concentrates atmospheric contaminants, primarily water vapor, as resulting in air with elevated temperature and 100% relative humidity.

  3. Air purge system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_purge_system

    At the air inlet, air temperature must be lower than the upper ambient rating of the fan (typically 50 °C/122 °F). The position of air intake is at a point where the least amount of dust, oil, and moisture collects. Fail safe shutters protect the instrument if the purge air supply fails. These are key in systems where the flue gas is under ...

  4. Onboard refueling vapor recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onboard_refueling_vapor...

    The purge valve controls the purge vapor purge line, through which the manifold vacuum pulls air through the vapor storage device and purges it of fuel vapors. The electronic control unit (ECU) controls the opening and closing of this valve. [8] [dead link ‍]

  5. Diesel particulate filter - Wikipedia

    Cordierite Diesel Particulate Filter on GM 7.8 Isuzu. Unlike a catalytic converter which is a flow-through device, a DPF retains bigger exhaust gas particles by forcing the gas to flow through the filter material before exiting; [2] [29] however, the DPF does not retain small particles.

  6. R-11 Refueler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-11_Refueler

    The R-11 Refueler replaced the R-9 Refueler as the primary mobile refueling vehicle for The United States Air Force. There are currently three models of the R-11. The first generation was delivered in 1989 to the Air Force by the Oshkosh Truck Corporation and is commonly referred to as the Oshkosh R-11. The Air Force purchased 1,250 Oshkosh R ...

  7. Dieseling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieseling

    The ignition source of a diesel engine is the heat generated by the compression of the air in the cylinder, rather than a spark as in gasoline engines. The dieseling phenomenon occurs not just because the compression ratio is sufficient to cause auto-ignition of the fuel, but also because a hot spot inside the cylinder (spark plug electrode ...

  8. Belt dryer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_dryer

    A belt dryer (belt drier) a kind of industrial dryer, is an apparatus which is used for continuous drying and cooling of woodchip, pellets, pastes, moulded compounds and panels using air, inert gas, or flue gas.

  9. Pressure swing adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_swing_adsorption

    The purge gas from the second step is recycled and partially used as feed gas in the first step. In addition, the purge process is supported by active evacuation for better performance in the next cycle. The goals of both of these changes is to improve efficiency over a conventional PSA process.
