less than transformers. Figure 4.3 Switch Mode Power Supply(SMPS) Non-Return Valve Non-return valve is also called check valve or one-way valve. It allows the air to flow only in only one desired direction. Check valves are generally small, inexpensive and simple design. Check valves work automatically and most are not controlled by a person or any external control; accordingly, most of the valves do not have any valve handle or stem. Figure 4.4 Non-Return

leak from the end. Next, turn off the water supply to the faucet. The shutoff valves are probably located under the sink. If the valves don’t work or if you don’t have

level is approximately 28,000 sq. ft. In this 5-story parking garage, can one dry valve serve all 5 levels of parking or is each level subject to the 52,000 sq. ft. limitation?” In response to your question, we have reviewed NFPA 13, 2010 edition that you indicated as the applicable standard. Our informal interpretation is that only one dry-pipe valve is required but there are water delivery restrictions. Check valves with drain connections are not required per floor but it is possible to install

Unlike on/off valves, check valves are flow sensitive and rely on the line fluid to open and close. Rather than offering emergency shutoff or complete flow control, check valves are intended only to prevent reverse flow and the resultant damage to piping systems. Because of this, seat leakage rates for check valves differ from those imposed on other valve types, and should be evaluated within the appropriate constraints. The industry

Introduction Pigging is a critical activity in the commissioning and operation of a pipeline; oil, gas, water or otherwise. For flow assurance the pipeline needs to be cleared of debris and checked for defects, tasks pigs were designed for. The pig needs a method of entering and exiting the pipeline, so a mobile or fixed launcher and receiver are utilised depending on the exact requirements. Pig Launching and Receiving Basics A pig launcher and receiver, also known as a pig trap, are equipment

through a prefilter. It then positively directs the oil towards the solenoid valve which directs it through one of the two parallel filtration systems. Each filtration system is equipped with a 10 micron filter and two 4 micron filters set in a parallel configuration. The oil then passes through the 10 micron filter which will remove all particles of 10 microns in size or greater. The oil then enters a flow divider valve which properly diverts the oil to two separate 4-micron filters for further

kitchen faucet is installed. This also can be used for replacing a kitchen faucet. Whenever removing an old faucet remember to shut off the hot and cold water supply to the faucet. There are usually shut-off valves located right under the sink for the hot and cold water. If there are no shut off valves then just shut off the water main and open the hot and cold water to drain the water.

Operators were also responsible for the failure of the auxiliary feedwater pumps, as a test of the “twelves” valves two days before the incident led to them remaining closed until the incident itself, a clear violation of regulations set in place by the NRC. When asked about it post-incident, an operator claimed it was very easy to forget to reopen the valves after a test, whether you just plain forgot or you were relieved at the end of your shift before you could do it.4 Again, this ties to the

As soon as a distribution system is built, it suffers a predictable decline in condition and efficacy. Some elements may have a life cycle of 25 to 30 years before major work is required. Other items will need regular service almost immediately after start-up. The role of maintenance is to identify and remedy potential problems before they impact operation. This requires establishment of a set of operating parameters. The design specifications help to identify the maintenance parameters

Low Water Pressure | Plumbing Katy Low water pressure is annoying to deal with, and it may be a cause for concern. Low water pressure can make the simple task of taking a shower a chore. Furthermore, it lengthens any of the tasks around the home requiring water. There a several potential causes of low water pressure, and identifying the source is the first step in resolving it.
