WHAT ARE THE SYMBOLS OF MAJOR EQUIPMENTS?

Compressor is a mechanical device that takes in a medium and compresses it to a

smaller volume. A mechanical or electrical drive is typically connected to a pump that is
used to compress the medium.

Pumps is a mechanical device using suction or pressure to raise or move liquids,
compress gases, or force air into inflatable objects such as tires. The symbols for
pumps may closely resemble those for compressors.

Mixing is a device that combine or put together to form one substance or mass.

Mixing vessel is a container that is used to blend several components together.




Heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat energy between two process flows.
Heat exchangers transfer heat energy through conductive and convective heat transfer.

Cooling towers transfer heat energy to the outside air through the principle of
evaporation.

Cooler is a device, container or room that cools air through the evaporation of water or
keeps cool.

Furnace is a device for heating a continuous current of air by means of a fire contained
within the apparatus and without mingling the fresh air with the products of combustion.

Boiler is a closed vessel in which water or other fluid is heated.

Tank is used to store process fluids of various types, under different process conditions.
