  2. Wastegate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

    The wastegate will open further as the boost pressure pushes against the force of the spring in the wastegate actuator until equilibrium is obtained. More intelligent control can be added by integrating an electronic boost controller. Standard wastegates have one port for attaching the boost control line from the charge air supply line or boost ...

  3. Boost controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_controller

    A 3-port solenoid-type boost controller A 4-port solenoid-type boost controller (used for a dual-port wastegate). The purpose of a boost controller is to reduce the boost pressure seen by the wastegate's reference port, in order to trick the wastegate into allowing higher boost pressures than it was designed for.

  4. Variable-geometry turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-geometry_turbocharger

    This design has a lower flow rate compared to VNT types so a wastegate may be incorporated with this design. [5] VGTs may be controlled by a membrane vacuum actuator, electric servo, 3-phase electric actuation, hydraulic actuator, or pneumatic actuator using air brake pressure. Unlike fixed-geometry turbines, VGTs do not require a wastegate. [6]

    And that this statement: "The wastegate will open further as the boost pressure pushes against the force of the spring in the wastegate actuator until equilibrium is obtained." be changed to: "The wastegate will open further as force resulting from the boost pressure counteracts the force of the spring in the wastegate actuator.

  6. Total-loss oiling system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total-loss_oiling_system

    Sight-glass lubricator. A needle valve adjusts the rate of flow, which may be seen as drops passing through the window beneath the glass reservoir.. A total-loss oiling system is an engine lubrication system whereby oil is introduced into the engine and then either burned or ejected overboard.

  7. Variable valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_timing

    Cylinder head of Honda K20Z3.This engine uses continuously variable timing for the inlet valves. Variable valve timing (VVT) is the process of altering the timing of a valve lift event in an internal combustion engine, and is often used to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions.

  8. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

    By connecting linkages to the nut, the motion can be converted to usable linear displacement. Most current actuators are built for high speed, high force, or a compromise between the two. When considering an actuator for a particular application, the most important specifications are typically travel, speed, force, accuracy, and lifetime.

  9. ATA 100 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATA_100

    ATA 100 contains the reference to the ATA numbering system which is a common referencing standard for commercial aircraft documentation. This commonality permits greater ease of learning and understanding for pilots, aircraft maintenance technicians, and engineers alike.
