Compressor is a device that Used in many applications, increases the pressure of a most of which involve substance (usually a gas) increasing the pressure by reducing the volume of inside a gas storage the substance. container, such as: Compression of gases in petroleum refineries and chemical plants. Pressure Switch is a Widely used for a large form of switch that range of applications operates an electrical throughout industry and contact when a certain manufacturing. Their set fluid pressure has function is to provide been reached on its systems with electrical input. feedback in response to measuring a rise or fall in pressure. Temperature Indicator Tag Are used in many electrical number 1 and 10 is a appliances, from our device or smart label that refrigerators and freezers to shows the accumulated help regulate and maintain time- temperature history cold temperatures as well of a product. as within stoves and ovens to ensure that they heat to the required levels for cooking, air confectioners/heaters. Pressure indicator an Instrumentation used for instrument for self-contained, low measuring and recording pressure measurement. pressure changes in Pressure indicators are pneumatic automatic ideal for applications such devices and in the as room monitoring, cylinders of piston HVAC and engines. testing pump performance or pneumatic controls and regulators. Condenser is a device that Device for reducing a gas or functions to condense vapour to a liquid. steam which converts the Condensers are employed turbine to be used as in power plants to condense water for the next cycle. exhaust steam from turbines and in refrigeration plants to condense refrigerant vapours. Fan is to push air As an outcome, these downward while creating blades can push air either a downward raft and up towards the fan or making the room feel downwards towards floor. cooler. Receiver separates the It is a device that converts message signal from the electromagnetic signals into carrier signal. It sound, light or electrical reconstructs actual signal signals. using output transducers. Heat exchangers are used Heat exhanger is a to transfer heat from one processing unit in which medium to another. These steam is used to heat up media may be a gas, liquid, a liquid material. or a combination of both.
Flowmeter is a device Is a meter designed to
used to measure the flow measure the flow rate of a rate or quantity of a gas fluid (or gas) within a or liquid in a pipe. cylindrical chamber without a differential pressure directly across the rotating member, and without the use of any bearing. Manual Valve are those Are primarily used to stop valves that operate and start the flow (block or through a manual operator on-off valves), although (such as handwheel or some designs can be used handlever). for basic manual throttling. Manual valves are primarily used to stop and start the flow (block or on- off valves), although some designs can be used for basic manual throttling. Sight glasses are Processing plant operators transparent industrial use sight glasses to: Verify glass that are used for the production stages of a observing levels of liquids process visually. Inspect or gases inside of a pipe, media or fluids for tank, or changes boiler. in color or consistency. A filter-drier in a Filter driers are usually refrigeration or air installed in the liquid line of conditioning system has a dry-expansion refrigeration two essential functions: system, where they have a one, to adsorb system dual function. contaminants, such as
