2. Plug valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_valve

   The plugs in plug valves have one or more hollow passageways going sideways through the plug, so that fluid can flow through the plug when the valve is open. Plug valves are simple and often economical. When the plug is conically tapered, the stem/handle is typically attached to the larger diameter end of the plug. Plug valves usually do not ...

5. Stephenson valve gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephenson_valve_gear

   During the 1830s, the most popular valve drive for steam locomotives was known as gab motion in the United Kingdom and V-hook motion in the United States. [3] The gab motion incorporated two sets of eccentrics and rods for each cylinder; one eccentric was set to give forward and the other backwards motion to the engine and one or the other could accordingly engage with a pin driving the ...

6. Valve gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_gear

   Deeley valve gear - fitted to several express locomotives on the Midland Railway. The combination levers were driven, as normal, from the crossheads. Each expansion link was driven from the crosshead on the opposite side of the engine. Young valve gear - used the piston rod motion on one side of the locomotive to drive the valve gear on the ...

7. Eccentric reducer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_reducer

   Eccentric reducers exhibit a unique design with one side having a larger diameter and the other side being smaller and offset from the centerline. This offset configuration enables the eccentric reducer to maintain a consistent fluid level within the piping system, preventing air or gas accumulation.

8. Gab valve gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gab_valve_gear

   The valve gear gab of Calvert's beam engine, disengaged. The hooked rod from the right is driven by the eccentric. When engaged, it rocks the valve arbor, the square shaft, back and forth. Bellcranks behind the shaft work the valves via the vertical pullrods. Gab valve gear was an early form of valve gear used on steam engines. Its simplest ...

9. Butterfly valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve

   Unlike a ball valve, the disc is always present within the flow, so it induces a pressure drop, even when open. A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter-turn valves. In operation, the valve is fully open or closed when the disc is rotated a quarter turn. The "butterfly" is a metal disc mounted on a rod. When the valve is ...
