  2. Pilot-operated relief valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot-operated_relief_valve

    The pressure at which the control pilot relieves is the functional set pressure of the PORV. When the pilot valve reaches set pressure it opens and releases the pressure from the dome. The piston is then free to open and the main valve exhausts the system fluid. The control pilot opens either to the main valve exhaust pipe or to atmosphere ...

  3. Pilot valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_valve

    Pilot valves are useful because they allow a small and easily operated feed to control a much higher pressure or higher flow feed, which would otherwise require a much larger force to operate; indeed, this is even useful when a solenoid is used to operate the valve. Pilot valves are often used in critical applications (e.g., emergency and SIS ...

  4. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    Control valves are normally fitted with actuators and positioners. Pneumatically-actuated globe valves and diaphragm valves are widely used for control purposes in many industries, although quarter-turn types such as (modified) ball and butterfly valves are also used. Control valves can also work with hydraulic actuators (also known as ...

  5. Variable-pitch propeller (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-pitch_propeller...

    The flow of oil and the pitch are controlled by a governor, consisting of a gear type pump speeder spring, flyweights, and a pilot valve. The gear type pump takes engine oil pressure and turns it to a higher pressure which is in turn controlled in an out of the propeller hub by the pilot valve, which is connected to the flyweights, and a seeder ...

  6. Larner–Johnson valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larner–Johnson_valve

    The pilot valve gives a proportional control over main valve flowrate, with the opening being controlled, slow and gradual. If the pilot valve is closed, pressure now builds up in the upper chamber, overwhelming the lower pressure and force in the downstream chamber. The valve is once again forced closed. [2]

  7. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

    Solenoid valves. A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve.. Solenoid valves differ in the characteristics of the electric current they use, the strength of the magnetic field they generate, the mechanism they use to regulate the fluid, and the type and characteristics of fluid they control.

    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.
