1.2.5 The valve
–
controlled steam engine
Contrary to these simple constructions there are also valve-controlled
models available, such as the steam engine model D9/D10, D20 and other
models from Wilesco.
The valve-controlled steam engine works like this:
Water steam provided by the boiler enters the slide box and a slider presses
on one side of the piston within the cylinder. The high pressure steam
pushes the piston into the cylinder. As the piston is connected with the
crankshaft through a connecting rod the flywheel now turns on half a
rotation. Now the slider is moved. The steam feed happens now on the other
side of the piston, which is then pressed backward through the steam.
The cooled steam leaves through the steam outlet, f. ex. through the
chimney of the steam engine model. The process starts again.

The principle of the valve-controlled steam engine (a cut through cylinder
and slider) a) steam presses the piston (1) to the right, b) to the left. 1=
piston, 2= cylinder, 3= slider rod, 4= slider box, 5= steam outlet, 6= steam
inlet
The steam engine can consist out of one or several cylinders. The advantage
of several cylinders is a continuous power transfer.
