Introduction: A booster pump is a form of centrifugal pump as it makes use of centrifugal pressure. In this type of pump, one or more impellers are added to pump the fluid. A booster pump is a mechanical tool that is used to enhance the pressure of the water or different fluids. The improved pump … Read more
Presta valve is also known as a french valve. This type of valve is commonly found on the inner tubes of high-pressure road bikes and some mountain bikes. It consists of an outer valve stem and an inner valve body. Lock nuts and valve caps to secure the stem to the rim may also be … Read more
Pillow block bearing provides support to the rotating shaft. A rotating shaft is put inside the pillow block. The bearing is placed inside the pillow block. Pillow block bearing is also known as a Plummer block. Pillow block bearings are most commonly used in low torque applications. Bearing bases or leg slots or holes make … Read more
A check valve is used to stop the backflow of fluid. In this type of valve, fluid can move only in one direction. A check valve is also known as a non-return valve (NRV). Check valves operate according to the principle of differential pressure. Simply put, it only opens if the outlet pressure is lower than … Read more
A plug valve is a kind of valve that makes use of a tapered or cylindrical “plug” to regulate the flow of fluid in the system. The plug of the valve rotates inside the valve body. This plug has one or more hollow passages or openings. When the valve opens, fluid flows through these hollow … Read more
The internal combustion engine is a very popular engine in which the fuel combustion process takes place inside the engine cylinder. Internal combustion engines can use gasoline, diesel fuel, hydrogen, methane, and propane gas fuel as a working fluid. Internal combustion engines use the energy supplied in the form of an air-fuel mixture to carry … Read more
A reduction gearbox is a mechanical device used to decrease the output speed of an engine. By reducing the output speed, the output torque of the shaft is increased. The reducer converts the rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor to the speed required to drive the propeller. This device is also called … Read more
A plunger pump is a well-known type of reciprocating pump with a fixed high-pressure seal and a smooth cylindrical plunger that slides over the seal. These two characteristics of the plunge pump make it different from the piston pump. It can generate higher pressure than a piston pump. Therefore, it may use for high-pressure applications. … Read more
A screw compressor is a kind of positive displacement compressor. It utilizes two spiral screws to compress the gases. It works on a positive displacement rotary mechanism for the compression of gas. It has a male rotor and a female rotor for the compression process. The rotors of these compressors have very tight tolerances. The … Read more
A fuel pressure regulator is a mechanical device that maintains a stable fuel supply even when fuel demand changes significantly. The fuel regulator diaphragm has two sides. Of those sides, one facet gets strain from the gas rails and the opposite facet gets vacuum strain from the consumption port among the intake port and the … Read more
