Definition
B2General Engineering
(technical)A device that uses a spring to open or close a passage for controlling the flow of fluids or gases.
Example
- The spring valve ensures the fluid flow is regulated efficiently.
- Regular maintenance of the spring valve is crucial for system safety.
C1Internal Combustion Engines
(technical)A component that ensures proper valve operation by using a spring to close the valve after it has been opened during the combustion cycle.
Example
- The engine's performance depends heavily on the condition of its spring valves.
- High-performance engines often use double spring valves for better support.
C1Pneumatic Systems
(technical)A valve that is controlled by both pilot air and a spring, returning to its closed position when the pilot air is removed.
Example
- The air to spring valve is essential in pneumatic circuits to maintain system pressure.
- Proper functioning of the spring valve prevents backflow in the pneumatic system.
