  2. Wastegate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

    Inside the wastegate actuator, a spring acts to open the wastegate, and oil pressure acts to close the wastegate. On the oil output side of the wastegate actuator sits the density controller, an air-controlled oil valve which senses upper deck pressure and controls how fast oil can bleed from the wastegate actuator back to the engine. As the ...

  3. Variable-geometry turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-geometry_turbocharger

    This design has a lower flow rate compared to VNT types so a wastegate may be incorporated with this design. [5] VGTs may be controlled by a membrane vacuum actuator, electric servo, 3-phase electric actuation, hydraulic actuator, or pneumatic actuator using air brake pressure. Unlike fixed-geometry turbines, VGTs do not require a wastegate. [6]

  4. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator. Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually ...

  5. Turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger

    Wastegate - many turbochargers are capable of producing boost pressures in some circumstances that are higher than the engine can safely withstand, therefore a wastegate is often used to limit the amount of exhaust gases that enters the turbine; Blowoff valve - to prevent compressor stall when the throttle is closed

  6. Instrumentation in petrochemical industries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumentation_in...

    For air-operated control valves, electrical signals from the control system are converted to an air pressure for the valve actuator in a current/pneumatic I/P converter. Upon loss of pneumatic or hydraulic pressure valves may fail to an open (FO) or fail to a closed (FC) position. Some instrumentation is self actuating.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_control_unit

    Wastegate control and anti-lag; Theft prevention by blocking ignition, in response to input from an immobiliser; In a camless piston engine (an experimental design not currently used in any production vehicles), the ECU has continuous control of when each of the intake and exhaust valves are opened and by how much.
