3. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

   A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve. Solenoid valves differ in the characteristics of the electric current they use, the strength of the magnetic field they generate, the mechanism they use to regulate the fluid, and the type and characteristics of fluid they control. The mechanism varies from linear action, plunger-type ...

4. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

   In engineering, a solenoid is a device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy, using an electromagnet formed from a coil of wire. The device creates a magnetic field [1] from electric current, and uses the magnetic field to create linear motion. [2][3][4] In electromagnetic technology, a solenoid is an actuator assembly with a ...

5. Uniflow steam engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniflow_steam_engine

   High pressure steam enters, red, and exhausts, yellow. The uniflow type of steam engine uses steam that flows in one direction only in each half of the cylinder. Thermal efficiency is increased by having a temperature gradient along the cylinder. Steam always enters at the hot ends of the cylinder and exhausts through ports at the cooler centre.

6. Air-operated valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-operated_valve

   An air-operated valve, also known as a pneumatic valve, is a type of power-operated pipe valve that uses air pressure to perform a function similar to a solenoid. As air pressure is increased, the compressed air starts to push against the piston or diaphragm walls which causes the valve to actuate. Whether the valve opens or closes depends on ...

7. List of valves - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

   Pinch valve, for slurry flow regulation and control. Piston valve, for regulating fluids that carry solids in suspension. Piston valve (steam engine) Plug valve, slim valve for on–off control but with some pressure drop. Solenoid valve, an electrically actuated valve for hydraulic or pneumatic fluid control.
