    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]: 8 Whistle

  4. Hydrolock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock

    In most steam engine designs there is a short time at the end of the return stroke of the piston when all the valves are shut and it is compressing any remaining steam. Water can be introduced from the boiler or in a cold engine, steam will condense to water on the cool walls of the cylinders and can potentially hydrolock an engine.

  5. Check valve - Wikipedia

    Tilting-disc inconel check valve Check valve symbol on piping and instrumentation diagrams. The arrow shows the flow direction. Vertical lift check valve. A check valve, non-return valve, reflux valve, retention valve, foot valve, or one-way valve is a valve that normally allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction. [1]

  6. Boiler blowdown - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_blowdown

    A pipe near the bottom of the blowoff tank maintains a water level below the blowdown entry point and allows cooler water remaining from earlier blowdown events to drain from the tank first. Two bottom blowdown valves are often used in series to minimize erosion. One valve serves as the sealing valve, and the other as the blowdown valve.

    Larner–Johnson Valve: needle control valve often in large sizes used in water supply systems; Leaf valve: one-way valve consisting of a diagonal obstruction with an opening covered by a hinged flap; Line blind valve: a thin sheet oriented perpendicular to the pipe. The sheet has a solid end and a flow-through end; sliding it from one position ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_preventer

    A typical subsea deepwater blowout preventer system includes components such as electrical and hydraulic lines, control pods, hydraulic accumulators, test valve, kill and choke lines and valves, riser joint, hydraulic connectors, and a support frame. Two categories of blowout preventer are most prevalent: ram and annular. BOP stacks frequently ...

  9. Shuttle valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttle_valve

    Positioning a manual valve to neutral exhausts the air pilot pressure, closing the two-way valves, and trapping oil on both sides of the cylinder to lock it in position. [ clarification needed ] Standby and emergency systems: compressor systems requiring standby or purge gases capability are pressure controlled by the shuttle valve.
