Bantu Philosophy La philosophie bantoue in French language French is a 1945 book written by Placide Tempels which argues that the people of Sub Saharan Africa the use of the term Bantu as an ethnic label is now largely discredited have a distinctive philosophy, and attempts to describe the underpinnings of that philosophy. In his book, Tempels argues that the African philosophical categories can be identified through the categories inherent to language. According to Tempels, the primary metaphysical category in the thought of Bantu speaking societies is Force. That is, reality is dynamic, and being is force. Tempels argues that there are three possible views of the relationship between being and force. Being as distinct from force, that is, beings may have force or may not. Force as part of being, that is, being is more than force, but dependent upon it. Being is Force, that is, the two are one and the same. He argues that members of Bantu speaking cultures hold the last view of force. Specifically Force is not for Bantu a necessary, irreducible attribute of being no, the notion of force takes for them the place of the notion being in our philosophy. Just as we have, so they a transcendental, elemental, simple concept with them force and with us being . Tempels argues that as a result of this fundamental difference in categories, the African life of the mind is structured around understanding and defining Force, which contrasts sharply with the Western enterprise of understanding and defining Being. Bantu Philosophy has been criticized, primarily on the ground that conclusions are gross generalizations which seek to characterize the thought of an entire continent, which, it is argued, it is fundamentally impossible to do in any meaningful way.

It rides on the back of an adapted main slide valve and is driven by an additional Eccentric mechanism eccentric that has more advance than the main eccentric. The cut off is adjusted in one of two ways. The stroke of the expansion valve may be altered by adjusting the throw of the eccentric or by an expansion link and radius rod arrangement, usually under the control of a centrifugal governor . Alternatively, the effective length of the expansion valve can be altered. The Meyer expansion valve has two heads mounted on opposite handed threads on a rotatable valve rod, so that rotating the rod moves the heads either together or apart, according to the direction of rotation. In this arrangement the cut off is normally controlled manually. The engines at Coleham Pumping Station have Meyer expansion valves on the high pressure cylinders.

unreferenced date May 2010 Image Expansion tank.jpg thumb Expansion tank in central heating system. An expansion tank or expansion vessel is a small Water tank tank used in closed water heating systems and domestic hot water systems to absorb excess water pressure, which can be caused by thermal expansion as water is heated, or by water hammer . The vessel itself is a small container divided in two by a rubber Diaphragm mechanical device diaphragm . One side is connected to the pipe work of the heating system and therefore contains water. The other, the dry side, contains air under pressure, and normally a Schrader valve car tire type valve stem for checking pressures and adding air. When the heating system is empty or at the low end of the normal range of working pressure the diaphragm will be pushed against the water inlet. As the water pressure increases, so the diaphragm moves compressing the air on its other side. The compressibility of the air cushions the pressure shock, and relieves pressure in the system that could otherwise damage the plumbing system.
