  2. Metering pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metering_pump

    A metering pump moves a precise volume of liquid in a specified time period providing an accurate volumetric flow rate. [1] Delivery of fluids in precise adjustable flow rates is sometimes called metering. The term "metering pump" is based on the application or use rather than the exact kind of pump used, although a couple types of pumps are ...

  3. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    These valves achieve this using pressure-compensated mechanisms, which automatically adjust the valve opening to ensure a steady flow rate. Some designs incorporate a dual-chamber configuration that enhances regulation at lower pressures, improving stability in applications such as irrigation, industrial water systems, and municipal water ...

  4. 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.

  5. Valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve

    Many valves are not designed to precisely control intermediate degree of flow; such valves are considered to be either open or shut. Some valves are specially designed to regulate varying amounts of flow. Such valves have been called by various names such as regulating, throttling, metering, or needle valves. For example, needle valves have ...

  6. Water metering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_metering

    A compound meter is used where high flow rates are necessary, but where at times there are also smaller rates of flow that need to be accurately measured. Compound meters have two measuring elements and a check valve to regulate flow between them. At high flow rates, water is normally diverted primarily or completely to the high flow element.

  7. Needle valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needle_valve

    Needle valves are usually used in flow-metering applications, especially when a constant, calibrated, low flow rate must be maintained for some time, such as the idle fuel flow in a carburettor. Note that the float valve of a carburettor (controlling the fuel level within the carburettor) is not a needle valve, although it is commonly described ...
