    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]

  3. List of valves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

    Choke valve, Butterfly valve used to limit air intake in internal combustion engine. (Not to be confused with choke valves used in industrial flow control, above.) Clapper valve: a type of check valve used in the Siamese fire appliance to allow only one hose to be connected instead of two (the clapper valve blocks the other side from leaking out)

  4. Magnetic chip detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_chip_detector

    Chip detectors may be positioned in the application with a self-closing valve/adapter through either a bayonet or threaded interface. As the chip detector is disengaged from the valve, the valve closes minimizing any fluid loss from the system. The chip detectors used on aircraft are inspected in every 'A check' and higher.

    Duckbill exhaust valve for Draeger twin hose regulator. A duckbill valve is a check valve, usually manufactured from rubber or synthetic elastomer, and has two or more flaps, usually shaped like the beak of a duck. [1] It is commonly used in medical applications to prevent contamination due to backflow. A cross-section diagram of a Duckbill valve.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_electronics

    Engine controls demand one of the highest real-time deadlines, as the engine itself is a very fast and complex part of the automobile. Of all the electronics in any car, the computing power of the engine control unit is the highest, typically a 32-bit processor. [citation needed] A modern car may have up to 100 ECU's and a commercial vehicle up ...

  8. Reed valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_valve

    Reed valves, normally a leather flap covering a hole, are amongst the earliest form of automatic flow control for liquids and gases.They have been used for thousands of years in water pumps and for hundreds of years in bellows for high-temperature forges and musical instruments such as church organs and accordions.

  9. Desmodromic valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmodromic_valve

    A desmodromic valve is a reciprocating engine poppet valve that is positively closed by a cam and leverage system, rather than by a more conventional spring. The valves in a typical four-stroke engine allow the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder at the beginning of the cycle and exhaust spent gases at the end of the cycle. In a conventional ...
