   Collects steam at the top of the boiler (well above the water level) so that it can be fed to the engine via the main steam pipe, or dry pipe, and the regulator/throttle valve. [2] [5] [6]: 211–212 [3]: 26 Air pump / Air compressor Westinghouse pump (US+) Powered by steam, it compresses air for operating the train air brake system.

3. Piston valve (steam engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_valve_(steam_engine)

   Diagram showing lap and lead and their relation to valve travel. When on the move, a steam locomotive requires steam to enter the cylinder at precise times relative to the piston's position. [3] This entails controlling the admission and exhaust of steam to and from the cylinders with a valve linked to the motion of the piston. [3]

4. Steam locomotive exhaust system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Steam_locomotive_exhaust_system

   The steam locomotive exhaust system consists of those parts of a steam locomotive which together discharge exhaust steam from the cylinders in order to increase the draught through the fire. It usually consists of the blastpipe (or first stage nozzle), smokebox , and chimney , although later designs also include second and third stage nozzles.

6. Blastpipe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastpipe

   The Blast Pipe (a) directs exhaust steam into the smokebox (b). The steam entrains the smoke from the firebox (c), creating more draft which helps speed the smoke out the chimney (d). The primacy of discovery of the effect of directing the exhaust steam up the chimney as a means of providing draft through the fire is the matter of some ...

   A specific application of a steam pipe is the main steam pipe of a steam locomotive, which transports the pressurized steam from the steam dome atop the boiler to the cylinders, via the steam chests. A component of a district heating system , which distributes heat through an area via heated steam, which is transported through (typically buried ...

9. Cylinder (locomotive) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_(locomotive)

   The way the valve controlled the steam entering and leaving the cylinder was known as steam distribution and shown by the shape of the indicator diagram. What happened to the steam inside the cylinder was assessed separately from what happened in the boiler and how much friction the moving machinery had to cope with.
