A blowoff valve is designed to release pressure in the intake system when the throttle is closed. A "recirculating" type blowoff valve releases the pressurised air back into the non-pressurized section of the intake (i.e. upstream of the turbocharger), while an "atmospheric venting" type blowoff valve dumps the air directly into the atmosphere.
The Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone is an American twin-row, supercharged, air-cooled, radial aircraft engine with 18 cylinders displacing nearly 3,350 cubic inches (54.9 L). ). Power ranged from 2,200 to 3,700 hp (1,640 to 2,760 kW), depending on mo
Inside the wastegate actuator, a spring acts to open the wastegate, and oil pressure acts to close the wastegate. On the oil output side of the wastegate actuator sits the density controller, an air-controlled oil valve which senses upper deck pressure and controls how fast oil can bleed from the wastegate actuator back to the engine. As the ...
The design used a complex series of bypass valves in the induction and exhaust systems as well as an electromagnetic clutch so that, at low engine speeds, a boost was derived from the supercharger. In the middle of the rev range, a boost was derived from both systems, while at the highest revs the system disconnected the drive from the ...
The HMU has to implement the following: the variable restriction (called the fuel metering valve FMV) and the pressure drop across it (by using a bypass valve between the high pressure fuel pump and the FMV). The pressure drop is kept constant so the fuel flow to the fuel nozzle only depends on the FMV position.
The turbocharger compressor housing features a built-in bypass valve, and the turbo housing is cast into the exhaust manifold with a loop-around flow pattern. The boost level varies anywhere from 11 psi (0.76 bar) to 15 psi (1.0 bar), depending on the PCM's desired torque target and temperature conditions, but will be reduced if significant ...
Valvetrain: Two pushrod-actuated valves per cylinder with sodium-cooled exhaust valve; Supercharger: Single-stage two-speed centrifugal type supercharger, impeller diameter 11 in (280 mm), blower ratio 7.06:1 at slow speed and 10.06:1 at high speed; Fuel system: Stromberg PR48A downdraft carburetor with automatic mixture control
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 ...
