pressure cutoff valve
1Cutoff (steam engine) — In a steam engine, cutoff is the point in the piston stroke at which the inlet valve is closed. On a steam locomotive, the cutoff is controlled by the reverser. The point at which the inlet valve closes and stops the entry of steam into the… …
2Valve gear — The valve gear of a steam engine is the mechanism that operates the inlet and exhaust valves to admit steam into the cylinder and allow exhaust steam to escape, respectively, at the correct points in the cycle. It is sometimes referred to as the… …
3Pressure carburetor — A pressure carburetor is a type of fuel metering system for piston aircraft engines manufactured by the Bendix Corporation starting in the 1940s. It is recognized as an early type of mechanical fuel injection and was developed to prevent fuel… …
4cutoff/cutout valve — A valve that cuts out pump operations when either the pressure required has been reached or the operation of the service or device is over. It cuts in when the system pressure has fallen below a certain figure or the service or device is being… …
5Safety shutoff valve — Safety shut off valves are safety valves used to close a line and stop the flow of material. Some types are manually closed. Others are automated to act when a pre set condition (such as a failure in the system) occurs.PrincipleWhen this type of… …
6Variable valve timing — Variable valve timing, or VVT, is a generic term for an automobile piston engine technology. VVT allows the lift or duration or timing (some or all) of the intake or exhaust valves (or both) to be changed while the engine is in operation. Two… …
7Stephenson valve gear — The Stephenson valve gear or Stephenson link or shifting link [Snell, J B (1971). Mechanical Engineering: Railways, Longman Co, London] is a simple design of valve gear that was widely used throughout the world for all kinds of steam engine. It… …
8delivery valve — [1] The valve on the outlet side of a pump. [2] A fuel injection pump valve that rapidly decreases injection line pressure to achieve an abrupt fuel cutoff at the injector …
9Water heating — is a thermodynamic process using an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. Typical domestic uses of hot water are for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and space heating. In industry, both hot water and water heated to steam have… …
