  2. Boiler blowdown - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_blowdown

    Two bottom blowdown valves are often used in series to minimize erosion. One valve serves as the sealing valve, and the other as the blowdown valve. The sealing valve is customarily opened first and closed last. Both are opened rapidly and fully to minimize erosion on the seat and disk faces.

    A sectional diagram of a typical steam boiler feed injector, simplified to show the major parts common to such injectors, showing typical proportions, and using colour and shading to hint at temperature, pressure, and velocity variations in the fluid flows. The SVG was hand coded using a text editor.

  4. Automatic bleeding valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_bleeding_valve

    Brass-bodied float valve. An automatic bleeding valve or air release valve (ARV) is a plumbing valve used to automatically release trapped air from a heating system. Air, or other gas, may collect within plumbing. For water delivery systems to taps and basins, particularly with good main supply pressure, this air is usually flushed through with ...

    An oxygen safety relief valve DN250-safety valves. A safety valve is a valve that acts as a fail-safe.An example of safety valve is a pressure relief valve (PRV), which automatically releases a substance from a boiler, pressure vessel, or other system, when the pressure or temperature exceeds preset limits.

  7. Steam turbine governing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine_governing

    The flow rate of steam is monitored and controlled by interposing valves between the boiler and the turbine. [2] Depending upon the particular method adopted for control of steam flow rate, different types of governing methods are being practiced. The principal methods used for governing are described below.

    Valve chamber next to the cylinder (24) containing passageways to distribute steam to the cylinders. [6]: 41 [3]: 75 Firebox Furnace chamber built into the boiler, which produces steam in surrounding water. Various combustible materials can be used as fuel; the most common are coal and oil but in earlier times coke and/or wood were used.
