Explain Mechanical Equipment List I to Z

Explain mechanical equipment list presents mechanical equipment I to Z.

Superheater

This device adds energy to saturated steam in the absence of water.

Storage gravity tank fire protection

A non-pressurized or pressurized storage vessel designed to supply extra water to supply the fire protection piping network.

Storage gravity tank HVAC

A non-pressurized or pressurized storage tank designed to act as a storage facility for chilled water, heating water, glycol or condenser loops.

Septic tank

This is an underground storage container designed to store and treat human waste.

Tank fuel

This tank may be above or below ground and is designed to store petroleum products to be supplied to a distribution network.

Tank chemical holding

This tank is to function as a storage facility to store chemicals on a temporary basis or to accommodate spills.

Variable air volume box

This is an air terminal unit which is designed to modulate cold air prior to distribution and is thermostatically controlled.

Steam turbine

This is a turbine which is high pressure steam powered directed onvanes which drive a rotor to produce electricity.

Traps and Strainers

These are devices used in piping systems which are used to capture impurities and particulates to prevent their circulation through the system.

Unit heaters

This is understood to be a self contained unit heater using heating water, gas, electric or steam to produce heat.

These valves may be used to control water or steam flow, may be a two or three way control. They are used as a final control device as well as pressure reducing.

Pressure washer

This is a device which includes a station producing water under pressure as well as a spray gun to direct the water spray.

Water softener demineralise

This is the external equipment for the removal of minerals by chemical, ion exchange or other means.

Water heater domestic

This equipment produces domestic hot water at 120 F and may be electrical, gas fired, steam or hot water controlled.

Water treatment systems

This equipment is used for water treatment for potable water, glycol boilers feed water, chilled water, condenser water and humidifier spray water and will include chemical mixing tanks, pot feeders and associated components.
