Cam lift and timing can put the valves dangerously close to the piston. We show you how to check the clearance In all but most the mild engine builds, taking extra time to check piston to valve ...

Check valves are installed in many piping systems. Their purpose is to allow flow in only one direction, which can be critical for plant safety and to protect equipment from damage. There are a few ...

A novel approach using computational fluid dynamics techniques provides a way for determining the characteristics of gas passing through a gas-lift valve. In the method, CFD calculations numerically ...

Engines are complex bits of machinery. At their core level, yes, it's easy to understand what is happening. Air and fuel enter the engine where they are ignited and combustion occurs resulting in ...

Less maintenance and a smoother operation are just a few benefits of running hydraulic lifters in engines, which is why just ...

Viknesh Vijayenthiran June 26, 2008 Comment Now! Audi will implement a new valve-lift system for its direct-injection 2.8L and 3.2L V6 engines in the A4, A5, A6 and A8 models that’s claimed to boost ...

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 ...

Oil field operators can use several practical equations for calculating flow rates of natural gas through venturi gas-lift valves. For critical flow, this analysis derived such equations from a ...

March 30, 2007 Over the last century of automobile development, we have seen an enormous range of valve actuation technologies, ranging from pushrod, through single then double overhead camshafts, ...
