Unreferenced stub date December 2009 Valve float is an adverse condition which occurs when the poppet valve s on an internal combustion engine valvetrain do not remain in contact with the camshaft lobe during the valve closure phase of the cam lobe profile. This reduces engine efficiency and performance and potentially increases pollution engine emissions . Similar conditions Valve loft is utilizing a controlled float to increase lift and duration of the valve open cycle. In some motorsports there are rules that limit camshaft lift therefore, provoking this type of exploitation. By properly optimizing the system, one can actually achieve this without undue stresses added to the camshaft lobes and tappets lifters . Valve bounce is a related condition where the valve does not stay valve seat seated , due to the combined effects of the valve s inertia and resonance effects of metallic valve springs that effectively reduce the closing force, and allow the valve to re open partially. Remedies Stiffer valve springs can help prevent valve float and valve bounce, but only at the expense of increased friction loss es and higher stresses in the valvetrain system. Various techniques have been used to offset the effect of stiffer springs, such as dual spring and progressive sprung valves, roller tipped tappet s, and pneumatic valves. Alternative solutions Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati uses the desmodromic springless valve system to counter this problem and allow for higher engine speeds. The system consists of a mechanical lifter mechanism that uses a second rocker arm to push the valve closed. Formula One racing engine manufacturers use a pneumatic valve springs pneumatic system to close the valves to allow for very high RPM without valve float.

In a piston engine , the valve timing is the precise timing of the opening and closing of the valves. In four stroke cycle engines and some two stroke cycle engines, the valve timing is controlled by the camshaft . It can be varied by modifying the camshaft, or it can be varied during engine operation by the relatively new technology of variable valve timing . It is also affected by the adjustment of the valve mechanism, and particularly by the tappet clearance. However, this variation is normally unwanted. Many two stroke cycle and all wankel engine s do not have a camshaft or valves, and the port timing can only be varied by machining the port s, and or modifying the piston skirt two stroke applications . Some supercharger supercharged two stroke diesel engine s do however have a cylinder head and camshaft similar to a four stroke cycle engine. In a steam engine , the control of the valve timing is an important part of the operation of the engine.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 File Saddle valve.jpg thumb A saddle valve used to connect a humidifier s water intake to a residential cold water pipe . A saddle valve is a valve used to supply liquid where a low volume, low pressure stream is required. The name is derived from the fact that it is mounted in such a way that it saddles the line, mounting it from both sides. They are typically used for supplying cold water, via a 3 8 inch tube, to humidifiers and icemaker s in freezers. A saddle valve is mounted directly on to a pipe which is usually 1 2 inch copper tubing. Saddle valves are self tapping devices. Once mounted on a line, with the included rubber seal in place, all that is required is to turn the valve clockwise until it pierces the water line. When the valve handle can no longer be turned, it is done tapping the pipe. Turning the handle counter clockwise opens the valve. These valves can be installed without shutting off the main water supply. Building code Plumbing code s, local or international, often do not allow use of a saddle valve instead a tee and a conventional globe, gate, or ball valve is to be installed.

Refimprove date March 2007 In most types of reciprocating engine s, a valve guide is provided for each poppet valve in the cylinder head . Along with the valve spring, it serves to positively locate the valve so that it may make proper contact with the valve seat . A valve guide is a tube shaped piece of metal, pressed into the cylinder head, with the valve reciprocating inside it. Guides serve also to conduct heat from the combustion process out from the exhaust valve and into the cylinder head where it may be taken up by the cooling system. Bronze is commonly used, as is steel a balance between stiffness and wear on the valve is essential to achieve a useful service life. Aircraft engines In aircraft piston engines, the valve guides are typically shaped in a tube with a flare at one end, so as to resemble in section, the letter T . Their replacement involves removing the worn part by driving it out with a hammer and specifically shaped punch. Installation involves heating the cylinder with its integral head and freezing the valve guide so as to ease insertion, and then driving the new guide in quickly with a hammer. Once the parts return to room temperature the new valve guide will be solidly in place and ready to be reamer reamed and hone d to proper diameter... Oil seals As valve guides wear, their ability to positively locate the valve to the valve seat decreases.
