Record 3 2012-02-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
CONT

Flow control valves. In this valve assembly, individual poppet valves are used to open and close the ports to change the direction of fluid flow. The valves are operated by cams on a cam rod.... Some poppet valve assemblies are arranged with valves in a radial position, and they are opened and closed by means of a rotary cam unit. The results are the same in any case. Poppet valves are also manufactured with electric controls, and the individual valves are opened and closed by means of solenoids.

PHR

Spring-loaded poppet valve.
