A reciprocating or centrifugal pump used to remove air, and some tomes the condensate, from the condenser of a steam plant.
A pump which supplies air for lift tubes, skimmers, bubblers, etc. The most common type are diaphragm pumps, though cylinder pumps are available for large installations.
An emission control device on some engines that pumps air into the exhaust system so the catalytic converter can "reburn" pollutants in the exhaust.
The device that supplies the fresh air needed by the air-injection system.
A pump which moves air. The most common types are diaphragm pumps and cylinder pumps are available.
A small electric pump, usually of the diaphragm type, used to deliver air to an aquarium.
a pump that moves air in or out of something
a necessity for a pond or aquarium and serves many functions for fish and other aquatic life
a reliable source of delivering air for air operated items such as air stones, air curtains, air-actuated ornaments or for adding movement thus oxygen to any aquarium
Many emissions systems include an air pump, which pumps fresh air into a vehicle's exhaust to help complete the combustion process and reduce emissions. To get accurate lambda measurements with the LM-1, air pumps should be temporarily disabled.
An electric pump used in delivering air into the aquarium.
An electro-mechanical pump used to supply air to the aquarium through air stones.
A pump used to deliver air to the aquarium, usually for lift tubes, skimmers, and bubblers. The pump pushes air through silicon tubing and to air stones or other aquatic decor. They are also an essential for UGF's (undergravel filters). An airstone is placed in each clear tube. When the air bubbles travel upward, they generate steady current which brings water from the bottom, through the tubes and to the surface. The most common type of air pump is a diaphragm pump, though cylinder pumps are available for large installations.
An electro-mechanical pump used to supply air to air stones, lift tubes, and decorations.
An emission control device that supplies fresh air to the exhaust manifold to aid in more completely burning exhaust gases.
A pump which is used to deliver air to the aquarium. The pump pushes air through silicon tubing and drives various devices; protein skimmers, UGF's, & ornamental items. Undergravel filters were originally designed to be driven by airstones fed by air pumps. In a UGF, when the air bubbles travel up the tubes a current is created, which draws water through the gravel bed, under the plate(s), up the tube, & back into the tank. Today, a UGF is more efficiently driven by an attached powerhead, albeit at a higher cost.
A device that pumps air into the exhaust system to cut down on the level of unburned fuel in the exhaust.
There are many designs of these things but the function is the same, to provide a constant supply of air to the water in an aquarium. This helps oxygenate the water directly but also by churning up the surface of the water allowing for greater oxygen exchange at the surface. The pressured air from an air pump may also be used to drive various types of filters or other aquarium accessories. The most common type of air pump uses a vibrating rubber diaphragm to pump air. These types of pumps are useful for a couple of aquariums. Larger pumps use pistons or compressors. Large aquarium setups often use blowers.
