Nice feature from Avintia Blusens and their Crew Chief Francesco Guidotti, doing some explaining on what pneumatic valves are, how they work and why more teams are going for this technology. The ...

EGR stands for exhaust gas recirculation, and the EGR valve is part of a system that does as the name implies: recirculate exhaust gas back into the engine’s intake manifold for a return trip to the ...

Directional-control valves are common in pneumatic systems. They control compressed-air flow to cylinders, rotary actuators, grippers, and other mechanisms in packaging, handling, assembly, and ...

The question, “Presta or Schrader?”, may seem confusing when you’re new to cycling and head to a bike shop to buy a replacement inner tube. For the vast majority of bikes, there are two types of valve ...

Festo recently introduced the manually operated VHEF and the mechanically operated VMEF pneumatic valves. These small, durable, and versatile valves are core Festo products and guaranteed to ship ...

There is so much going on with internal combustion engines (ICEs) these days, it can give you a headache just reading about them. That's why we do the research for you and then cram it into bite-size ...

The cascading bypass system is perhaps the most common design for managing high-pressure steam in a combined-cycle plant. It is the hot reheat (HRH) bypass valve actuator that defines the valve’s ...

A dump valve is a component used in turbocharger set-ups to increase the longevity of the turbocharger. The term dump valve, however, is also often used when discussing other different types of ...

Before selecting an engineered solution for any fluid control application, it is crucial to understand the unique application and overall value that each ball valve provides. Ball valves come in a ...
