Vacuum Receiver Tank -
Container in which gas is stored
under vacuum as a source of pneumatic fluid power.
Accommodates sudden or unusually high system demands.
Prevents frequent on/off cycling of an air compressor or
vacuum pump and absorbs pulsations.
Regulator -
Device to control flow of gases, thus controlling
the magnitude of the force and torque produced by the
actuator.
Standard Air -
Air at a temperature of 68 F, a pressure of
14.70 psia, and a relative humidity of 36 percent.
Vacuum -
A space containing air or other gas at less than
atmospheric pressure; usually expressed in “Hg.
Vacuum Gauge -
Device for determining the pressure level in
a partial vacuum.
Vacuum Pump -
A device that pulls air out of a closed
container or system.
Vacuum Relief Valve -
A valve that controls system vacuum
level. It operates by providing a modulated flow of
atmospheric air into the system.
Volumetric Efficiency -
The ratio of a pump's actual delivery
to its computed fluid delivery multiplied by 100 percent.
