  2. Butterfly valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve

    The butterfly valve has been in use since the late 18th century. James Watt used a butterfly valve in his steam engine prototypes. With advances in material manufacturing and technology, butterfly valves could be made smaller and withstand more-extreme temperatures.

  7. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    An automatic control valve consists of three main parts in which each part exist in several types and designs: Valve actuator – which moves the valve's modulating element, such as ball or butterfly. Valve positioner – which ensures the valve has reached the desired degree of opening. This overcomes the problems of friction and wear.

  9. Exhaust brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_brake

    The butterfly valve has one to three holes in it so that there is not a complete blockage of the exhaust pipe. This assures the avoidance of damage due to high pressure. When the brakes are released by the driver, the cylinder generates pressure so that the butterfly valve is opened and allows the exhaust gases to flow into the exhaust pipe.
