2. Trip valve gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trip_valve_gear

   The valve itself can be a drop valve or a Corliss valve. Trip valve gear was applied to larger stationary engines. It was not used in transport applications, [ft 1] as it was not suitable for high speed. [1] The trip point of the valve mechanism, and therefore the cut-off, would be adjusted either manually or automatically by the governor.

7. Blowoff valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve

   A blowoff valve is designed to release pressure in the intake system when the throttle is closed. A "recirculating" type blowoff valve releases the pressurised air back into the non-pressurized section of the intake (i.e. upstream of the turbocharger), while an "atmospheric venting" type blowoff valve dumps the air directly into the atmosphere.

8. Isolation valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_valve

   An isolation valve is a valve in a fluid handling system that stops the flow of process media to a given location, usually for maintenance or safety purposes.
