Bypass pipes, accompanied by a three-way control valve, are often seen in hydronic systems at both served loads (e.g., reheat coils) as well as at primary equipment (e.g., cooling towers). Reasons for ...

The cascading bypass system is perhaps the most common design for managing high-pressure steam in a combined-cycle plant. It is the hot reheat (HRH) bypass valve actuator that defines the valve’s ...

Valves are essential elements for controlling fluid system performance. Virtually every fluid-power system requires some type of valve. In a hydraulic system, valves may control pressure, flow to an ...

waste·gate ('wAst·'gAt), n. 1. An exhaust bypass valve employed by turbocharged engines used to control boost pressure by means of alternating exhaust gas flow either to or away from the turbine. But ...

A dump valve is a component used in turbocharger set-ups to increase the longevity of the turbocharger. The term dump valve, however, is also often used when discussing other different types of ...
