  2. Pilot-operated relief valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot-operated_relief_valve

    A separate actuator on the piping releases pressure in the line if it crosses a threshold. This releases the pressure on the back of the seal, causing the valve to open. The essential parts of a PORV are a pilot valve (or control pilot), a main valve, a pilot tube, the dome, a disc or piston, and a seat. The volume above the piston is called ...

    An incident occurred at unit 2 on 10 December 2020 at 12:22. Because of valve repair work, excessively hot water flowed to the reactor water clean-up system filters. The hot water dissolved materials from the filters. When the clean-up system was restarted, the dissolved materials flowed to the reactor core, where they became radioactive. This ...

    Computer generated view of an EPR power station Reactor pressure vessel of the EPR. The EPR is a Generation III+ pressurised water reactor design. It has been designed and developed mainly by Framatome (part of Areva between 2001 and 2017) and Électricité de France (EDF) in France, and by Siemens in Germany. [1]

  5. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    Some older models lack a safety release valve [citation needed]. Most home cooking models are built to maintain a low and high pressure setting. These settings are usually 7 to 15 pounds per square inch (0.48 to 1.03 bar). Almost all home cooking units will employ a very simple single-stage pressure regulator.

  6. Thermal expansion valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion_valve

    A thermal expansion valve or thermostatic expansion valve (often abbreviated as TEV, TXV, or TX valve) is a component in vapor-compression refrigeration and air conditioning systems that controls the amount of refrigerant released into the evaporator and is intended to regulate the superheat of the refrigerant that flows out of the evaporator ...

  7. Engine pressure ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_pressure_ratio

    The engine pressure ratio (EPR) is the total pressure ratio across a jet engine, measured as the ratio of the total pressure at the exit of the propelling nozzle divided by the total pressure at the entry to the compressor. [1] Jet engines use either EPR or compressor/fan RPM as an indicator of thrust. [2]

  8. Axial flow valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_flow_valve

    The axial flow valve, or Thayer valve, is a brass instrument valve design patented in 1978 by American inventor Orla Ed Thayer. [1] Designed with assistance from instrument maker Zigmant Kanstul, it was originally intended to replace the traditional rotary valve on the French horn , but instead revolutionized the design of trombone valve ...

  9. Automatic bleeding valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_bleeding_valve

    Brass-bodied float valve. An automatic bleeding valve or air release valve (ARV) is a plumbing valve used to automatically release trapped air from a heating system. Air, or other gas, may collect within plumbing. For water delivery systems to taps and basins, particularly with good main supply pressure, this air is usually flushed through with ...
