About This Product
The Corliss valve gear is a classic feature of stationary steam engines, in which separate oscillating valves admit steam to the cylinder and release it as exhaust. A sectional model lets students see inside the engine and follow how the crank shaft turns the eccentric, how the eccentric moves the wrist plate and how the links turn each valve. It is used in thermodynamics and theory of machines lessons to explain steam admission and exhaust.
