How It Works: The Crossness Engines’ Corliss Valve Gear


At south-east London’s Crossness Pumping Station ( www.crossness.org.uk ) you can see four rotative beam engines. One of them — Prince Consort — restored to working condition, another one — Victoria — in restoration and the two others — Albert Edward and Alexandra — still in their abandoned state. These engines, originally single cylinder Watt engines, got an update in 1899 to three-cylinder compound engines (steam is used three times — first in a high, then in an intermediate and at last in a low pressure cylinder). The original cylinder served from that time as low pressure cylinder, the two new cylinders, on the right side got a new Z-link parallel motion. See my other Crossness video www.youtube.com . The engines were fitted with a Corliss valve gear, invented by the brilliant American engineer George Henry Corliss. See en.wikipedia.org This valve gear uses four rotary valves (working similar to a gas tap). These Valves are operated by camshaft driven rods. The camshaft itself is driven directly from the flywheel by the help of a bevel gear. The big advantage of this gear is, that the timing of the inlet valve can be changed via the governor. (All those features were invented a long time before modern car engines used variable valve timing). This allows a constant engine speed independent of work load and otherwise a saving of fuel. At small work load steam admission is cut off earlier and most of the work is done by steam expansion.The inlet valves are closed

The Choice Epi 19.wmv


He then bowed and i curtsied toward the royal table and with a nod from Oberon we where off. and dancing actually did come easy….once i forgot about the crowd and didnt focus on what i was doing. and according to Finn Mab didnt have my brother he told me that he is usually never in the court but in the wyldwood which was neutral territory but no one knew what all lived there exactly. when Elysium was over….i asked grimalkin for help…again.. to escape. i changed out of my nice dress and with the chaos of the unseelie court leaveing grimalkin took me through a tunnel….small with brambles on both sides and suprisingly i barely got caught until grimalkin told me to hurry for i had already been missed. Grimalkin was taking us to the mortal world again through the trod. when we started to hear someone following us and we pushed on faster. we emerged from a drainage pip to the sounds of car engines and street traffic. we were in Detroit Michigan. Grimalkin was leading me to a trod that would take us straight to the unseelie part of the nevernever…..i didnt trust finn so i was double checking for my brother. we came to a club and entered. and i bargined with the gatekeeper to let us through. she lead us down the stairs but was furious cause i tricked her in the bargin and she sent redcaps on us….which are not friendly to summer court. Shard the gatekeeper laughed as she watched us. then a huge black bird flapped through the open door. the redaps leaped. the bird
