   a blower valve, which regulates the steam supplied to the blower (11) [3]: 8 a whistle lever, which varies the steam supplied to the whistle (3) [ 3 ] : 96 blowdown (or blow-off) cocks, which allow water to be ejected from the boiler to avoid concentration of impurities remaining after evaporation of steam.

3. Steam locomotive exhaust system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_locomotive_exhaust...

   An example of such situation is when the regulator is closed suddenly, or the train passes through a tunnel. If a single line tunnel is poorly ventilated, a locomotive entering at high speed can cause a rapid compression of the air within the tunnel. This compressed air may enter the chimney with substantial force.

4. Shorrock supercharger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorrock_supercharger

   The Shorrock/Centric supercharger is the type with sliding vanes, which by an efficient arrangement are able to travel very close to the walls of the compressor without making contact, thereby allowing greater maximum velocity and reducing lubrication requirements compared to earlier types that contacted the walls.

5. Bleed air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_air

   Bleed air in aerospace engineering is compressed air taken from the compressor stage of a gas turbine, upstream of its fuel-burning sections.Automatic air supply and cabin pressure controller (ASCPC) valves bleed air from low or high stage engine compressor sections; low stage air is used during high power setting operation, and high stage air is used during descent and other low power setting ...

6. Cutoff (steam engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutoff_(steam_engine)

   In a steam engine, cutoff is the point in the piston stroke at which the inlet valve is closed. On a steam locomotive, the cutoff is controlled by the reversing gear.. The point at which the inlet valve closes and stops the entry of steam into the cylinder from the boiler plays a crucial role in the control of a steam engine.

8. Centrifugal-type supercharger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal-type_supercharger

   Distancing the supercharger from the engine via a mounting bracket greatly reduces heat transfer from the engine to the supercharger during operation. By comparison, a twin screw or roots blower which is nested in the center (valley) of the engine, will absorb heat (heat soak) during operation due to thermal transfer from the engine block and ...
