  2. Blowoff valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve

    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.

  3. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    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.

  4. Steam turbine governing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine_governing

    This is accomplished by completely closing the turbine throttle and stop valves, halting all steam flow into the turbine, and potentially opening a bypass valve to prevent upstream overpressure. [2] Increase of the mechanical speed of shaft beyond 110%; Disturbed balancing of the turbine [clarification needed] Failure of the lubrication system

  5. Piping and instrumentation diagram - Wikipedia

    Piping and instrumentation diagram of pump with storage tank. Symbols according to EN ISO 10628 and EN 62424. A more complex example of a P&ID. A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is defined as follows: A diagram which shows the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control the process.

  6. Antilag system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antilag_system

    The first method is to use a throttle air bypass; this may be an external bypass valve or a solenoid valve which opens the throttle 12-20 degrees. This allows air to bypass the closed throttle and to reach the engine. The second method is to use a bypass valve that feeds charge air directly to the exhaust manifold.

  7. Relief valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief_valve

    A relief valve DN25 on cooling water pipe from heat exchanger Schematic diagram of a conventional spring-loaded pressure relief valve. A relief valve or pressure relief valve (PRV) is a type of safety valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system; excessive pressure might otherwise build up and create a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, explosion, or fire.

  8. Wastegate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

    An internal wastegate is a built-in bypass valve and passage within the turbocharger housing which allows excess exhaust pressure to bypass the turbine into the downstream exhaust. Control of the internal wastegate valve by a pressure signal from the intake manifold is identical to that of an external wastegate.

  9. Bypass ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bypass_ratio

    The bypass ratio (BPR) of a turbofan engine is the ratio between the mass flow rate of the bypass stream to the mass flow rate entering the core. [1] A 10:1 bypass ratio, for example, means that 10 kg of air passes through the bypass duct for every 1 kg of air passing through the core.
