valve


valve,

device for controlling the flow of fluids (liquids and gases). Valves vary in construction and size depending upon their function. Some are classified according to their method of operation or design, e.g., butterfly, gate, globe, lift, needle, piston, and slide valves. Valves are also named for the functions they perform, e.g., check valve (which permits flow in one direction only) and cutoff, bypass, exhaust, intake, safety (see safety valvesafety valve,
device attached to a boiler or other vessel for automatically relieving the pressure of steam before it becomes great enough to cause bursting. The common spring-loaded type is held closed by a spring designed to open the valve when the internal pressure reaches a

 may be referred to as a valve. In anatomy and physiology the term valve includes the flaps of tissue that help to control the direction of the flow of blood in the heart.

Valve

 

a part or device used to control the flow of a gas or fluid in machines and piping by altering the cross-sectional dimensions of the passage.

In internal combustion engines, pumps, compressors, and blowers, a valve is a part of the distribution mechanism or of the gas or fluid flow-control mechanism. As a variety of pipe fitting, a valve is used to control the flow of gas, vapor, or liquid.

Valves are made up of a housing, which is incorporated into the piping, and a gate, which moves within the housing and alters the dimensions of the bore (and, thereby, the transmissive capacity). Valves are used to develop a pressure differential (throttle valves), to prevent the reverse flow of a fluid (check valves), to release a certain amount of gas, vapor, or liquid when the pressure exceeds a set value (safety valves), to control pressure or flow rate (regulating valves), and to reduce pressure and keep it at a constant level (reducing valves). Valves are also used as stopper fittings to seal off piping, in engineering equipment, and in heat-and-power engineering facilities.

Depending on the design of the housing, valves are classed as pass, angled, three-way, and multipath. In terms of the nature of attachment to the piping, they may be flanged or coupled. The gate may be moved manually, electrically, pneumatically, or hydraulically.

valve

[valv] (anatomy) A flat of tissue, as in the veins or between the chambers in the heart, which permits movement of fluid in one direction only. (botany) A segment of a dehiscing capsule or legume. The lidlike portion of certain anthers. (electronics) electron tube (invertebrate zoology) One of the distinct, articulated pieces composing the shell of certain animals, such as barnacles and brachiopods. One of two shells encasing the body of a bivalve mollusk or a diatom. (mechanical engineering) A device used to regulate the flow of fluids in piping systems and machinery.

Valve

A flow-control device. Valves are used to regulate the flow of fluids in piping systems and machinery. In machinery the flow phenomenon is frequently of a pulsating or intermittent character and the valve, with its associated gear, contributes a timing feature.

The valves commonly used in piping systems are gate valves (Fig. 1), usually operated closed or wide open and seldom used for throttling; globe valves, frequently fitted with a renewable disk and adaptable to throttling operations; check valves, for automatically limiting flow in a piping system to a single direction; and plug cocks, for operation in the open or closed position by turning the plug through 90° and with a shearing action to clear foreign matter from the seat. Safety and relief valves are automatic protective devices for the relief of excess pressure. See Safety valve

For hydraulic turbines and hydroelectric systems, valves and gates control water flow for (1) regulation of power output at sustained efficiency and with minimum wastage of water, and (2) safety under the inertial flow conditions of large masses of water.

To control the kinematics of the cycle, steam-engine valves range from simple D-slide and piston valves to multiported types. Many types of reversing gear have been perfected which use the same slide valve or piston valve for both forward and backward rotation of an engine, as in railroad and marine service. See Steam engine

Poppet valves are used almost exclusively in internal combustion reciprocating engines because of the demands for tightness with high operating pressures and temperatures (Fig. 2). Two-cycle engines utilize ports, alternately covered and uncovered by the main piston, for inlet or exhaust. See Cam mechanism, Internal combustion engine, Valve train

In compressors, valves are usually automatic, operating by pressure difference on the two sides of a movable, springloaded member and without any mechanical linkage to the moving parts of the compressor mechanism. Like those for compressors, pump valves are usually of the automatic type operating by pressure difference.

Patient discussion about valve

Q. How does alcohol affect someone who has been diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis? My brother has been diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis and also is a smoker and does drink alcohol on the weekends. He knows that he should stop smoking but what about the effects of alcohol? Does this also contribute to his stenosis?A. Alcohol changes blood pressure and speed of the heart- that is not a good idea if you have an Aortic stenosis. Could probably makes things worst. I would avoid alcohol… but he should ask GP.
