  2. Butterfly valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve

    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 closed, the disc is turned so that it completely blocks off the passageway. When the valve is fully open, the disc ...

  3. Boost controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_controller

    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. [1] Many boost controllers use a needle valve that is opened and closed by an electric solenoid. By varying the pulse width to the solenoid, the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_brake

    Description. An exhaust brake is a valve which essentially creates a back-pressure in the exhaust system, which applies enough force onto the engine's pistons to slow the engine. In most cases, an exhaust brake is so effective that it can slow a heavily-loaded vehicle on a downgrade without ever applying the vehicle’s service brakes.

  5. Rotary actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_actuator

    Rotary actuator. A rotary actuator is an actuator that produces a rotary motion or torque. The simplest actuator is purely mechanical, where linear motion in one direction gives rise to rotation. The most common actuators are electrically powered; others may be powered pneumatically or hydraulically, or use energy stored in springs.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swirl_flap

    Swirl flap principle in a four-valve engine. A swirl flap is a small butterfly valve fitted to four-stroke internal combustion engines with at least two intake valves.It is installed inside or just before one of a cylinder's two intake ports, allowing to throttle its intake port's air flow, causing a swirl in the other intake port not fitted with a swirl flap.

  7. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    Valve actuator. Electric actuator (blue cylinder) on a valve in a power plant. A black handwheel is visible on the actuator, which allows manual positioning of the valve. The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator.
