A dynamic compressor in which the gas is accelerated by the action of a bladed rotor and where the main flow is along the rotation axis of the rotor.

A dynamic compressor in which one ore more impellers accelerate the gas and where the main flow through the impeller is radial.

A dynamic pump that contains impellers provided with vanes to generate centrifugal force to achieve the required pressure head.

A physical object that uses centrifugal force to separate phases of different densities.

A physical object that is driven by a prime mover by which energy is either constantly or periodically added to an amount of gas in order to increase its pressure.

A pressure relief valve that has its closing force provided by a spring.

A turbine that compresses air which is then mixed with fuel for combustion and expansion through a turbine section to generate relatively high power output for either mechanical drive or power generation.

A turbine in which liquid forces are driving the rotor by the reaction of acceleration of subject liquid flow in the runner while the pressure drops.

A pressure relief valve that uses a pilot valve to indirectly activate the main valve.

A pressure relief valve that is intended to release excess pressure or admit pressure to prevent a vacuum forming when filling or emptying a pipeline or tank.

A physical object that adds or removes mechanical energy to a fluid, either constantly or periodically.

A positive displacement compressor in which forced reduction of gas volume takes place by the movement of a displacing element in a cylinder or enclosure.

A positive displacement pump which contains a displacing element intended to be moved in a reciprocating movement to exert pressure on a fluid, typically moving within a cylindrical space.

A self operating valve that is set to open at a certain pressure level to prevent the pressure in a container or system from reaching unsafe levels.

A positive displacement compressor in which compression displacement is effected by the positive action of rotating elements.

A positive displacement pump that consists of a chamber containing gears, cams, screws, vanes, plungers or similar elements actuated by relative rotation of the drive shaft or casing and which has no separate inlet and outlet valves.

A physical object that is intended to mix fluid by means of diverging the flow with static obstacles or by increasing locally the velocity.

A thermodynamic turbine in which steam is made to do work by expanding so as to create kinetic energy by acting on moving blades attached to a disc or drum.

A physical object that is intended to rotate within a fluid and to transform energy within a fluid into mechanical power.

A relief valve that is used for pressure compensation purposes by admitting (letting in) a pressure to prevent that vacuum is forming when filling or emptying a system.
