The hot heat exchanger is in thermal contact with an external heat source, such as a fuel burner, and the cold heat exchanger is in thermal contact with an external heat sink, such as air fins. A change in gas temperature causes a corresponding change in gas pressure, while the motion of the piston makes the gas alternately expand and compress.
The 3-valve cylinder head was first used on the 2002 Ford Fairmont 5.4 L Barra 220 engine in Australia manufactured in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. [55] The 3-valve 5.4 L was introduced to the North American market in the redesigned 2004 Ford F-150. Vehicles equipped with the 24-valve SOHC VCT 5.4 L include the following:
Camless valve trains have long been investigated by several companies, including Renault, BMW, Fiat, Valeo, General Motors, Ricardo, Lotus Engineering who developed electro-hydraulic valve actuation in the late 1980s as a spinoff of their active suspension program (both utilised similar electro-hydraulic actuation and control), Ford, Jiangsu Gongda Power Technologies, and Koenigsegg's sister ...
Here, small valves were attached to the original control cables, controlling the flow of oil into an associated actuator connected to the control surface. One of the earliest fittings of a hydraulic boost system was to ailerons on late-war models of the P-38L, removing the need for great human strength to achieve a higher rate of roll.
The twin Moog servo valves are used to deform the shape of the die on this blow molding accessory designed by BMC Controls Limited. One example of servo valve use is in blow molding where the servo valve controls the wall thickness of extruded plastic making up the bottle or container by use of a deformable die. [9]
A four-stroke power valve is a device fitted to four-stroke engines that constantly adjusts the internal diameter of the exhaust system to better suit the speed of the engine. Yamaha was the first to develop such a system, called the Exhaust Ultimate Power Valve (EXUP). [1] It first appeared on the Yamaha FZR EXUP and was later used on many ...
The 2200 uses an iron block and aluminum two-valve cylinder head. Output is 120 hp (89 kW) at 5000 rpm and 140 lb⋅ft (190 N⋅m) at 3600 rpm. Displacement is 2.2 L; 133.6 cu in (2,189 cc) with an 89 mm × 88 mm (3.50 in × 3.46 in) bore and stroke. 2200s were built at GM's Tonawanda engine plant in Buffalo .
A heated air inlet or warm air intake is a system commonly used on the original air cleaner assemblies of carburetted engines to increase the temperature of the air going into the engine for the purpose of improving the consistency of the air/fuel mixture to reduce engine emissions and fuel usage.
