LIST VARIOUS HYDRALIC AND PNEUMATIC COMPONENTS AND

MENTION THEIR APPLICATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPONENT: GEAR PUMP
APPLICATION: Gear Pumps Can Also Be Used In Hydraulic Power
Applications, Typically In Vehicles, Lifting Machinery And Mobile Plant
Equipment
JUSTIFICATION: The Output Of A Gear Pump Is Not Greatly Affected By
Pressure So They Also Tend To Be Preferred In Any Situation Where The Supply
Is Irregular
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: VANE PUMP

APPLICATION: Vane Pumps Are Commonly Used As High-Pressure
Hydraulic Pumps And In Automobiles, Including Supercharging, Power-Steering,
Air Conditioning, And Automatic-Transmission Pumps
JUSTIFICATION: Vane Pumps Have No Internal Metal-To-Metal Contact And
Self-Compensate For Wear, Enabling Them To Maintain Peak Performance On
These Non-Lubricating Liquids.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: PISTON PUMP

APPLICATION: Lifting Heavy Loads
JUSTIFICATION: Piston Pumps Have Very High Volumetric Efficiency (Over
98%)
And Can Be Used At The Highest Hydraulic Pressures..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: COMBINATION PUMP

APPLICATION: And Operated Hydraulic Pump Is Used In A Hydraulic Jack
Where Many Strokes Of The Pump Apply Hydraulic Pressure To Lift The Ram
JUSTIFICATION: Combination Pump System Consists Of A Two-Stage Rotary
Vane Pump And Two-Stage, Chemically-Resistant Diaphragm Pump
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: PISTON COMPRESSORS

APPLICATION: Piston Compressor Is A Positive-
Displacement Compressor That Uses Pistons Driven By A Crankshaft To Deliver
Gases At High Pressure. ... Applications Include Oil Refineries, Gas Pipelines,
Chemical Plants, Natural Gas Processing Plants, Air Conditioning, And
Refrigeration Plants
JUSTIFICATION: The Pumps Are Running At Optimal Speed, To Ensure Lower
Noise Levels And Extended Lifetimes, Guaranteeing A Greater Performance. They
Are Perfectly Suitable For The More Demanding And Intensive Applications.
Continuous Performance In Extreme Climatic Conditions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: SCREW COMPRESSORS

APPLICATION: Used In A Variety Of Process Gas, Process Refrigeration And
Natural Gas Applications, Including Individual Wellhead Boosters, Low Pressure
Gathering Systems, Low Stage Boosters To Existing Reciprocating Machines, Fuel
Gas Compression
JUSTIFICATION: Rotary screw air compressors operate by trapping air between
two meshed rotors and reducing the volume of that trapped air as it moves down
through the rotors. This reduction in volume results in compressed air, which can
then be used to power air tools, inflate tires, or in numerous other applications.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: ROTARY COMPRESSORS

APPLICATION: For Large Refrigeration Cycles Such As Chillers
JUSTIFICATION: The Gas Compression Process Of A Rotary Screw Is A
Continuous Sweeping Motion, So There Is Very Little Pulsation Or Surging Of
Flow, As Occurs With Piston Compressors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: DYNAMIC COMPRESSORS

APPLICATION: These Compressors Also Use For Compression In Gas
Powerplant
JUSTIFICATION: Compression Is Achieved By Applying Inertial Forces To
The Gas By The Bladed Impellers. Velocity Energy (Acceleration) Is Added To
The Gas By The Rapidly Rotating Impeller. Part Of This Energy, Approximately
Two-Thirds, Results In A Static Pressure Rise Of The Gas In The Impelle
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: POPPET VALVES

APPLICATION: A Poppet Valve (Also Called Mushroom Valve) Is
A Valve Typically Used To Control The Timing And Quantity Of Gas Or Vapor
Flow Into An Engine
JUSTIFICATION: A Poppet Valve Uses A Rounded Stem Tip Or Ball (Poppet)
To Seal Shut A Passageway By Pressing The Poppet Onto A Seat, Usually With A
Combination Of Fluid Pressure And Spring Force. This Is The Valve In Its
Normally-Closed State
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: SPOOL VALVE

APPLICATION: They are used extensively for directional control of actuators
JUSTIFICATION: The main advantage of spool valves is that the spool
movement is not affected by fluid entering the valve at any working port.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPONENT: ROTARY VALVES
APPLICATION: Typical applications are for feeding a weighed hopper or for
feeding a mill that can be clogged by the product.
JUSTIFICATION: It is the simplest machine of having only one moving
part(ignoring the drive),a multi-vane rotor revolving in close contact in housing
and where the housing has an inlet of the top and outlet at the bottom
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: PILOT-OPERATED VALVES

APPLICATION: IN LIQUID APPLICATIONS INVOLVING CRUDE OIL
PIPELINES
JUSTIFICATION:  Typically, This Separate Valve Controls A High Pressure Or
High Flow Feed. Pilot Valves Are Useful Because They Allow A Small And
Easily Operated Feed To Control A Much Higher Pressure Or Higher Flow Feed,
Which Would Otherwise Require A Much Larger Force To Operate; Indeed, This
Is Even Useful When A Solenoid Is Used To Operate The Valve.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: CHECK VALVES

APPLICATION: Check Valves Is To Prevent Backflow Within A Piping System
JUSTIFICATION: Check Valves Are Unidirectional Valves That Provide
Unobstructed Flow In One Direction As Long As Flow Pressure Remains Constant
And Protect The Piping System Against Reverse Flow
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: PILOT-OPERATED CHECK VALVES

APPLICATION: Designed For Use In Applications Requiring An Actuator To Be
Locked In Position, 
JUSTIFICATION: Pilot Operated Check Valves Work By Allowing Free Flow
From The Inlet Port Through The Outlet Port. Supplying A Pilot Pressure To
The Pilot Port Allows Flow In The Opposite Direction. Air Pressure On Top Of
The Poppet Assembly Opens The Seal Allowing Air To Flow Freely
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: SHUTTLE VALVES

APPLICATION: This application is normally used with
heavy industrial machinery.
JUSTIFICATION: A Shuttle Valve Has Several Applications Including:
The Use Of More Switches On One Machine: By Using The Shuttle Valve, More
Than One Switch Can Be Operated On A Single Machine For Safety, And Each
Switch Can Be Placed At Any Suitable Location
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: SEQUENCE VALVES

APPLICATION: 1) Controlling The Sequential Action Of Multiple Components.
2) Use In The Pressure-Keeping Circuit
EX: A Typical Application Would Be When Maintained Clamping Pressure Is
Required In The Primary Circuit While Work Is Being Performed In The
Secondary Circuit.
JUSTIFICATION: Sequence valves can be used to sense pressure (port 1) in one
circuit and then open and supply oil to a secondary circuit (port 2) at a
predetermined pressure
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPONENT: TIME DELAY VALVE

APPLICATION: Used To Delay Operations Where Time-Based Sequences Are
Require
JUSTIFICATION: The Time Delay Valve Is Actuated By A Pneumatic Signal
Through The Tank After A Preset Time Delay Has Elapsed. The Returned To The
Normal Position Via Return Spring When The Signal Is Terminated
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
