  2. Piston valve (steam engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_valve_(steam_engine)

    The Swannington incline winding engine on the Leicester and Swannington Railway, manufactured by The Horsely Coal & Iron Company in 1833, shows a very early use of the piston valve. [1] Piston valves had been used a year or two previously in the horizontal engines manufactured by Taylor & Martineau of London, but did not become general for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Turner_(company)

    Like the Star, the bevel drive was moved inside the crankcase, and banjo drive was used with a choice of either piston valve or slide valve. Bore and stroke were 0.75 inches. While the slide valve variant was only available as a kit, the piston valve version was available as a complete engine or kit.

  4. Trofimoff valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofimoff_valve

    The valve spindle is milled out to enable a better through-flow. The 4 piston rings on the valve heads are clearly visible. The valve on this locomotive has a diameter of 300mm. The Trofimoff valve (German: Trofimoff-Schieber) (also Trofimov, Troffimoff or Trofimof) is a springless pressure-compensation piston valve for steam locomotives.

    Controls the supply of steam to the cylinders. The valve gear, actuated by connection to the driving wheels, ensures that steam is delivered to the piston with precision. Types are slide valves, piston valves or poppet valves. [2] [3]: 62 Valve chest / Steam chest Valve chamber next to the cylinder (24) containing passageways to distribute ...

    LNER Class V2 4771 Green Arrow.Note Gresley conjugated valve gear located ahead of the piston valves, driven from the valve spindles. The Gresley conjugated valve gear is a valve gear for steam locomotives designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, chief mechanical engineer of the LNER, assisted by Harold Holcroft.

  7. Vauclain compound - Wikipedia

    Steam flow in the valve and cylinders near the beginning of the stroke; note how the low-pressure steam flows through the center of the valve. The key to the Vauclain compound is its valve system. In essence, there is an extra system of valves, concentric with the usual middle steam passage in conventional single expansion piston valves. [3]

  8. Cutoff (steam engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutoff_(steam_engine)

    In a steam engine, cutoff is the point in the piston stroke at which the inlet valve is closed. On a steam locomotive, the cutoff is controlled by the reversing gear.. The point at which the inlet valve closes and stops the entry of steam into the cylinder from the boiler plays a crucial role in the control of a steam engine.
