  2. Blowoff valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve

    The sound produced by compressor surge is called turbo flutter and the repeated, high speed cycling will cause a cyclic torque on the compressor and may lead to increased stresses on the bearings and compressor impeller. [2] A blowoff valve is designed to release pressure in the intake system when the throttle is closed.

  3. Lucas 14CUX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_14CUX

    For the next several seconds, the injector pulse width is wider than normal to provide sufficient fuel for starting. Idle control is performed by adjusting a stepper-motor-driven bypass valve in the intake plenum. When the ignition is switched off, the ECU winds the bypass valve fully open to provide enough air the next time the engine is started.

  5. Wastegate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

    An internal wastegate is a built-in bypass valve and passage within the turbocharger housing which allows excess exhaust pressure to bypass the turbine into the downstream exhaust. Control of the internal wastegate valve by a pressure signal from the intake manifold is identical to that of an external wastegate.

  6. Bleed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_air

    Bleed air in aerospace engineering is compressed air taken from the compressor stage of a gas turbine, upstream of its fuel-burning sections.Automatic air supply and cabin pressure controller (ASCPC) valves bleed air from low or high stage engine compressor sections; low stage air is used during high power setting operation, and high stage air is used during descent and other low power setting ...

  7. Bypass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bypass

    Bypass capacitor, used to bypass a power supply or other high impedance component; Bypass ratio in turbofan aircraft engines Bypass duct, whose size controls the bypass ratio; Bypass switch, access port for an in-line active security appliance; Bypass (telecommunications) Bypass valve A blowoff valve on a compressor

  8. Active tip-clearance control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_tip-clearance_control

    Active clearance control (ACC) is a method used in large aircraft gas turbines to improve fuel efficiency during cruise. This is achieved by setting the turbine tip clearance at more than one operating point and contrasts with passive clearance control which sets it for only one condition and is explained below.

  9. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    The crankcase air outlet, where the PCV valve is located, is generally placed as far as possible from the crankcase breather. For example, the breather and outlet are frequently on opposite valve covers on a V engine, or on opposite ends of the valve cover on an inline engine. The PCV valve is often, but not always, placed at the valve cover ...
