A valve stem is a self-contained valve that opens to admit gas to a chamber (such as air to inflate a tire), and is then automatically closed and kept...

one-way valve and a vacuum source (such as the inlet manifold). The unwanted gases, called "blow-by", are gases from the combustion chamber which have...

engines) into the combustion chamber, while the exhaust valves control the flow of spent exhaust gasses out of the combustion chamber once combustion is completed...

combustion chamber. The timing, duration and lift of these valve events has a significant impact on engine performance. Without variable valve timing or...

be a type of float chamber. A float chamber works by allowing liquid within the chamber to lift a float which is linked to a valve which regulates the...

The four-way valve or four-way cock is a fluid control valve whose body has four ports equally spaced round the valve chamber and the plug has two passages...

piston valve is a device used to control the motion of a fluid or gas along a tube or pipe by means of the linear motion of a piston within a chamber or cylinder...

Reed valves are a type of check valve which restrict the flow of fluids to a single direction, opening and closing under changing pressure on each face...

intake valve. The sidevalve engine's combustion chamber is not above the piston (as in an OHV (overhead valve) engine) but to the side, above the valves. The...
