  2. Swirl flap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swirl_flap

    Swirl flap principle in a four-valve engine. A swirl flap is a small butterfly valve fitted to four-stroke internal combustion engines with at least two intake valves.It is installed inside or just before one of a cylinder's two intake ports, allowing to throttle its intake port's air flow, causing a swirl in the other intake port not fitted with a swirl flap.

  3. Diaphragm pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_pump

    The basic working principle of an air-operated double diaphragm pump. Cross-section sketch of diaphragm fuel pump Air-operated double diaphragm pump. A diaphragm pump (also known as a Membrane pump) is a positive displacement pump that uses a combination of the reciprocating action of a rubber, thermoplastic or teflon diaphragm and suitable valves on either side of the diaphragm (check valve ...

  4. Double dump valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dump_valve

    Double dump valves have two trap-door flap plates which open and close on an alternating cycle. The top gate opens to allow collected material to drop through onto the bottom gate. The top gate then re-closes to prevent air leakage above the valve. The bottom gate then opens to allow material to pass completely through the valve.

  5. Valve float - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_float

    Valve float is an adverse condition which can occur at high engine speeds [1] when the poppet valves in an internal combustion engine valvetrain do not properly follow the closure phase of the cam lobe profile. This reduces engine efficiency and performance.

  6. Rotary actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_actuator

    Electric rotary valve actuator controlling a butterfly valve. A rotary actuator is an actuator that produces a rotary motion or torque.. The simplest actuator is purely mechanical, where linear motion in one direction gives rise to rotation.

  7. Isolation valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_valve

    An isolation valve is a valve in a fluid handling system that stops the flow of process media to a given location, usually for maintenance or safety purposes. [1] They can also be used to provide flow logic (selecting one flow path versus another), and to connect external equipment to a system. [ 2 ]

  8. Heart murmur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_murmur

    Stenosis of Bicuspid aortic valve is like the aortic valve stenosis heart murmur. But, one may hear a systolic ejection click after S1 in calcified bicuspid aortic valves. Symptoms tend to present between 40 and 70 years of age. Mitral regurgitation is a holosystolic murmur. One can best hear it at the apex location and it may radiate to the ...

  9. Thoracic aorta injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_aorta_injury

    There are different grades to injuries to the aorta depending on the extent of injury, and the treatment whether surgical or medical depends on that grade. [1] It is difficult to determine if a patient has a thoracic injury just by their symptoms, but through imaging and a physical exam the extent of injury can be determined. [ 2 ]
