unusual facts about centrifugal


Centrifugal

Centrifugal casting (industrial), Centrifugal casting (silversmithing), and Spin casting (centrifugal rubber mold casting), forms of centrifigual casting


Albany Pumps

As well as Gear pumps, Albany produces Centrifugal Pumps, Lobe, and Twin Screw Pumps (Based on Stothert & Pitt Design)

Axial compressor

In Germany, von Ohain had produced several working centrifugal engines, some of which had flown including the world's first jet aircraft (He 178), but development efforts had moved on to Junkers (Jumo 004) and BMW (BMW 003), which used axial-flow designs in the world's first jet fighter (Messerschmitt Me 262) and jet bomber (Arado Ar 234).

Centrifugal extractor

Initial design of the annular centrifugal contactor was done at Argonne National Laboratory through modification of a Savannah River Site paddle mixed design.

Compressed air foam system

By the mid-1980s, research by the United States Bureau of Land Management in co-operation with Mark Cummins, led to modern design features of rotary air compressors, centrifugal pumps, and direct-injection foam-proportioning systems (Fornell, 1991; IFSTA, 1966).

Compression release

Though it only uses electric start, not kick start, the 2012 Ducati 1199 uses a compression release, which is automatically activated at low engine speed by a centrifugal flyweight on each exhaust cam.

Distributor

The distributor also houses the centrifugal advance unit: a set of hinged weights attached to the distributor shaft, that cause the breaker points mounting plate to slightly rotate and advance the spark timing with higher engine rpm.

General Electric LM500

The first LM-500 engine was delivered to Esso Australia Ltd, in Sale Australia, in 1981 directly driving a Norwlak-Turbo, Inc Sulzer eight stage centrifugal compressor.

Goldens' Foundry

Centrifugal casting at Goldens' is designed for specific product applications, as opposed to other foundries strictly devoted to the centrifugal process, such as steel pipe foundries.

Hacienda Luisita

Americans brought the centrifugal-based machinery which doubled the production of the estate and therefore did not require the cane to be loaded onto a truck to Laguna to be squeezed in the haciendas there, including those of the Roxas and Zóbel families.

Klimov VK-1

However in 1946, before the Cold War had really begun, the new British Labour government under the Prime Minister, Clement Attlee, keen to improve diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, authorised Rolls-Royce to export 40 Rolls-Royce Nene centrifugal flow turbojet engines.

Slurry pump

; Impeller: The impeller, either elastomer or high-chrome material, is the main rotating component which normally has vanes to impart the centrifugal force to the liquid.

Snecma Silvercrest

The engine architecture includes a solid wide-chord swept fan with a 4-stage booster, followed by a 4 axial stage + 1 centrifugal stage high pressure compressor.
