2. BELIMO Holding AG - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BELIMO_Holding_AG

   BELIMO Holding AG, an international group of companies, is located in Hinwil, Switzerland. [3] The company develops, produces and markets actuators for controlling heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Actuators and control valves make up the company's core business, and it is considered a global leader in motor control for HVAC. [4]

3. Piston valve (steam engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_valve_(steam_engine)

   This entails controlling the admission and exhaust of steam to and from the cylinders with a valve linked to the motion of the piston. [3] For timing and dimensioning of slide or piston valves where the valve opens and closes the steam and exhaust ports, a consideration of the "lap" and "lead" is required.

4. Expansion valve (steam engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_valve_(steam_engine)

   An expansion valve is a secondary valve within a steam engine. They represent an intermediate step between steam engines with non-expansive working and later valve gears that could provide for expansion by controlling the motion of a single valve. Expansion valves were used for stationary engines and marine engines. [1]

5. Uniflow steam engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniflow_steam_engine

   Galloway uniflow steam engine, now in Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum. Steam entry is usually controlled by poppet valves (which act similarly to those used in internal combustion engines) that are operated by a camshaft. The inlet valves open to admit steam when minimum expansion volume has been reached at the start of the stroke.

6. Steam locomotive components - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_locomotive_components

   Controls the supply of steam to the cylinders. The valve gear, actuated by connection to the driving wheels, ensures that steam is delivered to the piston with precision. Types are slide valves, piston valves or poppet valves. [2] [3]: 62 Valve chest / Steam chest Valve chamber next to the cylinder (24) containing passageways to distribute ...

7. Cutoff (steam engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutoff_(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 reversing gear.. The point at which the inlet valve closes and stops the entry of steam into the cylinder from the boiler plays a crucial role in the control of a steam engine.
