  2. Submarine snorkel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_snorkel

    Early snorkels had automatic ballcock valves fitted (to prevent seawater from waves being sucked into the diesel engines) that could slam shut in rough weather, forcing the engines to rapidly draw air from within the boat itself. The sudden reduction in pressure would cause the crew to experience extreme pain in their ears, occasionally causing ...

  3. Shutdown valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_valve

    A shutdown valve (also referred to as SDV or emergency shutdown valve, ESV, ESD, or ESDV; or safety shutoff valve) is an actuated valve designed to stop the flow of a hazardous fluid upon the detection of a dangerous event. This provides protection against possible harm to people, equipment or the environment.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

    The sheet has a solid end and a flow-through end; sliding it from one position to the other opens or stops the flow. Also called sliding blind valve; Outflow valve: regulates flow and pressure, part of cabin pressurization; Pilot valve: regulates flow or pressure to other valves; Petcock, a small shut-off valve

  5. Check valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_valve

    Tilting-disc inconel check valve Check valve symbol on piping and instrumentation diagrams.The arrow shows the flow direction. Vertical lift check valve. A check valve, non-return valve, reflux valve, retention valve, foot valve, or one-way valve is a valve that normally allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction.

  6. Water hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

    Toilet fill valves are available in a quiet fill type that closes quietly. Non-slam check valves do not rely on fluid flow to close and will do so before the water flow reaches significant velocity. High pipeline pressure rating (does not reduce the effect but protects against damage). Good pipeline control (start-up and shut-down procedures).

  7. Shuttle valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttle_valve

    Positioning a manual valve to neutral exhausts the air pilot pressure, closing the two-way valves, and trapping oil on both sides of the cylinder to lock it in position. [ clarification needed ] Standby and emergency systems: compressor systems requiring standby or purge gases capability are pressure controlled by the shuttle valve.

  8. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator. Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually ...

  9. Slamfire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slamfire

    Slamfire occurs when the cartridge discharges as soon as it reaches the chamber, rather than waiting in the chamber to receive a firing pin impact when the trigger is pulled.
