2. Block and bleed manifold - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_bleed_manifold

   A Block and bleed manifold is a hydraulic manifold that combines one or more block/isolate valves, usually ball valves, and one or more bleed/vent valves, usually ball or needle valves, into one component for interface with other components (pressure measurement transmitters, gauges, switches, etc.) of a hydraulic system. The purpose of the ...

3. Steam locomotive components - Wikipedia

   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 ...

4. Baker valve gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_valve_gear

   The Baker valve gear replaces the expansion link of the Walschaerts gear with an assembly of levers and links which produces the same effect of allowing continuous variation valve travel. The remainder of the gear is the same, so that the return crank and combination lever take the same form, although the proportions are usually modified.

5. Walschaerts valve gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walschaerts_valve_gear

   The Walschaerts valve gear is a type of valve gear used to regulate the flow of steam to the pistons in steam locomotives, invented by Belgian railway engineer Egide Walschaerts in 1844. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The gear is sometimes named without the final "s", [ a ] since it was incorrectly patented under that name.

6. Isolation valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_valve

   This may comprise a ‘double block’ consisting of two valves in series. Still more effective is a ‘double block and bleed’ comprising two isolation valves in series plus a bleed valve between them. The bleed valve enables the integrity of the valve on the hazardous side to be monitored. [5]

7. Piston valve (steam engine) - Wikipedia

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

   This entails controlling the admission and exhaust of steam to and from the cylinders with a valve linked to the motion of the piston. [3] For timing and dimensioning of slide or piston valves where the valve opens and closes the steam and exhaust ports, a consideration of the "lap" and "lead" is required.
