2. Air-operated valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-operated_valve

   [1] [2] 3-way valves pressurize and exhaust one outlet port to control a single-acting cylinder or pilot another valve. [3] Three-way valves may be used in pairs to operate a double-acting cylinder, thus replacing a four-way valve. A primary function of the 3-way valve is to save/store air that's compressed in high cyclic applications. 4-way ...

   Flow divider valve: a valve providing a plurality of output flows from a single fluid source [2] Flutter (Heimlich) valve: a specific one-way valve used on the end of chest drain tubes to treat a pneumothorax; Foot valve: a check valve on the foot of a suction line to prevent backflow; Four-way valve: was used to control the flow of steam to ...

4. Shuttle valve - Wikipedia

   Air pilot control: converting from air to oil results in locking of the cylinder. Shifting the four-way valve to either extreme position applies the air pilot through the shuttle valve, holding the two air-operated valves open and applying oil under air pressure to the corresponding side of the cylinder. Positioning a manual valve to neutral ...

   Schematic 3 way ball valve: L-shaped ball right, T-shaped left. Valves with three ports serve many different functions. A few of the possibilities are listed here. Three-way ball valves come with T- or L-shaped fluid passageways inside the rotor. The T valve might be used to permit connection of one inlet to either or both outlets or connection ...

6. Control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

   Manual valve: Actuated by hand wheel; Pneumatic valve: Actuated using a compressible medium like air, hydrocarbon, or nitrogen, with a spring diaphragm, piston cylinder or piston-spring type actuator; Hydraulic valve: Actuated by a non-compressible medium such as water or oil; Electric valve: Actuated by an electric motor

7. Railway air brake - Wikipedia

   On the electric side, pressure from a second straight-air trainline controlled the relay valve via a two-way check valve. This "straight air" trainline was charged (from reservoirs on each car) and released by magnet valves on each car, controlled electrically by a three-wire trainline, in turn controlled by an electro-pneumatic master ...
