Manifolds
Engineering
Types of manifolds in engineering include:
- Exhaust manifold
- An engine part that collects the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. Also known as headers.
- Hydraulic manifold
- A component used to regulate fluid flow in a hydraulic system, thus controlling the transfer of power between actuators and pumps
- Inlet manifold (or "intake manifold")
- An engine part that supplies the air or fuel/air mixture to the cylinders
- Scuba manifold
- In a scuba set, connects two or more diving cylinders
- Vacuum gas manifold
- An apparatus used in chemistry to manipulate gases
Also, many dredge pipe pieces.
Biology
In biology manifolds are found in:
- Cardiovascular system (blood vessel manifolds, etc.)
- Lymphatic system
- Respiratory system
Other fields
Manifolds are used in:
