The most common application of a petcock in an automobile is as a drain valve [1] for a radiator. [2] Historically, petcocks were used on gravity-feed fuel systems found on automobiles. With universal adoption of fuel pumps they have all but disappeared in that application.
Double check valve; Duckbill valve; Fill and drain valve: a valve used in space and missile industry which achieves extremely tight leakage, while providing redundant inhibits against external leakage [1] Flapper valve; Flow divider valve: a valve providing a plurality of output flows from a single fluid source [2]
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. [ 1 ] Check valves are two-port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave.
Solenoid valves are used in fluid power pneumatic and hydraulic systems, to control cylinders, fluid power motors or larger industrial valves. Automatic irrigation sprinkler systems also use solenoid valves with an automatic controller. Domestic washing machines and dishwashers use solenoid valves to control water entry into the machine.
A thermal expansion valve or thermostatic expansion valve (often abbreviated as TEV, TXV, or TX valve) is a component in vapor-compression refrigeration and air conditioning systems that controls the amount of refrigerant released into the evaporator and is intended to regulate the superheat of the refrigerant that flows out of the evaporator ...
Isolation valves in a flare, relief or vent system must ensure that a flow path is always available to the flare or vent. These valves are secured in the open position (LO). Drain valves that connect a high pressure system to a low pressure drain system are locked in the closed position (LC) to prevent potential over-pressurisation of the drain ...
