valve clearance (reciprocating engine specification). The clearance between the end of the valve stem and the rocker arm when the valve is seated and the cam follower is off the cam lobe. valve core (aircraft wheel component). A spring-loaded air valve screwed into a metal tube installed in an aircraft wheel. When the tire mounted on the wheel is being inflated, the stem of the valve core is depressed by the air chuck, and air flows into the tire. When the air chuck is removed, the stem seats in the valve core, and the air is trapped in the tire. To deflate the tire, the valve stem is depressed, allowing air to flow out through the core. valve duration (reciprocating engine specification). The amount of time, usually measured in degrees of crankshaft rotation, an intake or exhaust valve remains off its seat. valve face (reciprocating engine component). The portion of a poppet valve that forms a seal with the valve seat in an aircraft engine cylinder head. The valve face is ground so it is perfectly smooth and concentric with the valve stem. valve float (reciprocating engine operation). The condition of engine operation in which an intake or exhaust valve does not seat when the rocker arm is off the valve stem. It is possible for the engine to operate at a speed at which valves are being opened at the natural, or resonant, frequency of the valve springs. If this happens, the valve springs lose their effectiveness and will not close the valves, and the valves will float. |
