  2. Damper (flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(flow)

    In this way, applying power to the "open damper" terminal causes the motor to run until the damper is open while applying power at the "close damper" terminal causes the motor to run until the damper is closed. The motor is commonly powered from the same 24 volt AC power source that is used for the rest of the control system. This allows the ...

  3. Refrigerator death - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerator_death

    Parents or caregivers can lessen the risks of refrigerator deaths. Spaces can be made safer by childproofing against entrapment, such as using a refrigerator bar or lock to prevent access to appliances. [22] [28] Doors that lead to spaces containing dangerous equipment, such as utility rooms and campers, should be kept closed and locked. [14]

  4. Fire damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_damper

    Intumescent dampers swell shut due to intumescence in the event of a fire. Unlike mechanical dampers, it is a physical/chemical reaction that causes closure. Cleaning and an age assessment are periodically performed. The annulus of an intumescent damper is closed eliminating smoke migration. Also, intumescent fire dampers can be qualified to ...

  5. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)

    A floor register. A register is a grille with moving parts, capable of being opened and closed and the air flow directed, which is part of a building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The placement and size of registers is critical to HVAC efficiency. Register dampers are also important, and can serve a safety function.

  6. Thermal expansion valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion_valve

    A thermal expansion valve is a key element to a heat pump; this is the cycle that makes air conditioning, or air cooling, possible.A basic refrigeration cycle consists of four major elements: a compressor, a condenser, a metering device and an evaporator.

  7. Flash-gas (refrigeration) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash-gas_(refrigeration)

    On the contrary, a refrigerant column that creates weight and pressure may reduce the chances of finding flash-gas. If the evaporator is a plate exchanger placed below the level of the receiver, the pressure will not allow the refrigerant to boil easily.

  8. Heat pump and refrigeration cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump_and...

    Thermodynamic heat pump cycles or refrigeration cycles are the conceptual and mathematical models for heat pump, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. [1] A heat pump is a mechanical system that transmits heat from one location (the "source") at a certain temperature to another location (the "sink" or "heat sink") at a higher temperature. [2]

  9. Vibration isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_isolation

    Elastomer pads, dense closed cell foams and laminate materials are often used under heavy machinery, under common household items, in vehicles and even under higher performing audio systems. [citation needed] Molded and bonded rubber and elastomeric isolators and mounts These are often used as machinery (such as engines) [3] mounts or in ...
