    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_locomotive_components

    a throttle lever or regulator, which controls the amount of steam entering the cylinders [3]: 75 : 82 a reversing lever or (US term) Johnson bar, which controls the timing of the admission of steam into the locomotive's cylinders. [3]: 65 This is required for two purposes. One is to reverse the locomotive's direction, e.g. when shunting.

  3. Gasoline pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_pump

    A gasoline pump or fuel dispenser is a machine at a filling station that is used to pump gasoline (petrol), diesel, or other types of liquid fuel into vehicles. Gasoline pumps are also known as bowsers or petrol bowsers (in Australia and South Africa), [2] [3] petrol pumps (in Commonwealth countries), or gas pumps (in North America).

  4. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    Two-gauge pressure regulator connected to gas cylinder used for breathing gas supply. Pressure regulators are used with diving cylinders for Scuba diving. The tank may contain pressures in excess of 3,000 pounds per square inch (210 bar), which could cause a fatal barotrauma injury to a person breathing it directly. A demand controlled ...

  5. Needle valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needle_valve

    A needle valve has a relatively small orifice with a long, tapered seat, and a needle-shaped plunger on the end of a screw, which exactly fits the seat. As the screw is turned and the plunger retracted, flow between the seat and the plunger is possible; however, until the plunger is completely retracted, the fluid flow is significantly impeded.

  6. Gas cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_cylinder

    When the gas in the cylinder is to be used at low pressure, the cap is taken off and a pressure-regulating assembly is attached to the stop valve. This attachment typically has a pressure regulator with upstream (inlet) and downstream (outlet) pressure gauges and a further downstream needle valve and outlet connection. For gases that remain ...

    Duration of flow:- During high flow rates heat loss is faster than rewarming, and gas temperature will drop. Regulator design and materials: - The materials, arrangement of parts, and gas flow in the regulator affect reheating and deposition of ice. The thermal conductivity of the regulator components will affect the rate of heat transfer.
