A piston valve is a type of flow control valve used to regulate or stop the flow of fluids (liquids, gases, etc.) through pipes. It allows for precise adjustment or complete cessation of flow.
This valve can be likened to the intake and exhaust ports of a two-stroke engine, functioning similarly to a piston valve. In gasoline engines, carburetors once utilized this principle, though their use has declined with the advent of computerization. Additionally, brass instruments like trumpets use piston valves to alter airflow and change pitch.
Piston valves, due to their straightforward design, are widely used for controlling high-pressure fluids. A prime example is the flush valve in toilets, which can stably manage tap water pressure directly from high-pressure water pipes.
They are also commonly found as open/close operational valves in industrial and plant piping systems, managing the flow of high-temperature, high-pressure water, oil, steam, and other fluids where precision is crucial to avoid accidents.
Piston valves operate by altering the overlapping area between a hole in a cylinder and the piston's shoulder. The piston's vertical movement within the cylinder can either align with or block the cylinder holes, effectively controlling fluid flow. This design allows for efficient flow control under high pressure with minimal force.
As with trumpets, piston valves change air paths but do not alter airflow. The trumpet's piston valves, operated by fingers, redirect air through different tube lengths to vary pitch.
However, piston valves require regular maintenance, including cleaning of filters and compression packing, to ensure their proper functioning and prevent obstructions.
