  2. OpenTherm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenTherm

    OpenTherm was founded in 1996 because multiple manufacturers needed a simple-to-use communicating system between room controller and boiler. It had to run, like the existing controllers, over the existing two wires, not polarity sensitive, without the use of batteries.

  3. Valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_timing

    With traditional fixed valve timing, an engine will have a period of "valve overlap" at the end of the exhaust stroke, when both the intake and exhaust valves are open. The intake valve is opened before the exhaust gases have completely left the cylinder, and their considerable velocity assists in drawing in the fresh charge. Engine designers ...

  4. Boiler blowdown - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_blowdown

    These water treatments often include compounds forming a sludge to entrap such particles; and boilers intended for such water treatment include a structure called a mud drum at the lowest part of the boiler. Bottom blowdown involves periodically opening valves in the mud drum to allow boiler pressure to force accumulated sludge out of the boiler.

  5. Variable valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_timing

    Cylinder head of Honda K20Z3.This engine uses continuously variable timing for the inlet valves. Variable valve timing (VVT) is the process of altering the timing of a valve lift event in an internal combustion engine, and is often used to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions.

  6. Valve gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_gear

    In the simple case, this can be a relatively simple task as in the internal combustion engine in which the valves always open and close at the same points. This is not the ideal arrangement for a steam engine, though, because greatest power is achieved by keeping the inlet valve open throughout the power stroke (thus having full boiler pressure, minus transmission losses, against the piston ...

    This committee put in the form work for the first edition of the ASME Boiler Code - Rules for the Construction of Stationary Boilers and for the Allowable Working Pressures, which was issued in 1914 and published in 1915. [5] The first edition of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, known as the 1914 edition, was a single 114-page volume.
