  2. Valve guide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_guide

    The upper part of the valve stem, within the rocker box, is lubricated by oil. If this oil travels unchecked along the valve stem, engine HC emissions will become excessive. To control this, an elastomeric seal is fitted over the top of the valve guide. These may wear or stiffen with age, so are usually replaced whenever valves are removed for ...

  3. Reduced pressure zone device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_pressure_zone_device

    In the case of the downstream check valve passing, the differential pressure relief valve prevents the possibility of the chamber pressure from exceeding the supply pressure. It is theoretically possible that, when both valves are faulty, backflow could occur, should the reverse flow rate exceed the capacity of the relief valve.

  4. Knock-down kit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knock-down_kit

    Knock-down kit assembly plants are less expensive to establish and maintain because they do not need modern robotic equipment, and the workforce may be less costly than in the country of origin. The plants may also be effective for low-volume production. The CKD concept allows firms in developing markets to gain expertise in a particular industry.

  5. Double check valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_check_valve

    A double check valve or double check assembly (DCA) is a backflow prevention device designed to protect water supplies from contamination. [1] It is different from the two-way check valves (sometimes erroneously referred to as double check valves) used in air brake systems on heavy trucks which select from the highest pressure source.

  6. Kit-of-parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit-of-parts

    Kit-of-parts construction is a special subset of pre-fabrication that not only attempts to achieve flexibility in assembly and efficiency in manufacture, but also by definition requires a capacity for demountability, disassembly, and reuse. Kit-of-parts structures can be assembled and taken apart in a variety of ways like a construction toy.

  7. Schrader valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrader_valve

    The Schrader valve consists of a valve stem into which a valve core is threaded. The valve core is a poppet valve assisted by a spring. A small rubber seal located on the core keeps the fluid from escaping through the threads. Using the appropriate tools, a faulty valve core can be immediately extracted from the valve stem and replaced with a ...

  8. Labyrinth seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth_seal

    Indeed, many gas turbine engine seals leak by design. [4] Labyrinth seals are also found on pistons, which use them to store oil and seal against high pressure during compression and power strokes, as well as on non-rotating shafts. In these applications, it is the long and difficult path and the formation of controlled fluid vortices plus some ...

  9. Mercedes-Benz M276 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_M276_engine

    The Mercedes-Benz M276 engine is a direct injected, gasoline automotive piston V6 engine. [1]The M276 engine is not related to the Chrysler Pentastar except for the 60-degree angle, despite that it was developed while Chrysler was still owned by Daimler AG.
