Thread: Balancing the steam pressure on the slide valve
26/08/2009 13:56:37
Gudday all,
I am building a 5" Simplex and I would like to balance the pressure of the steam within the steam chest so the pressure forcing the slide vale is greatly reduced or eliminated. How can I do this? I have heard of it being done but I dont know the design of the parts or how efficiently it works. Can someone please help me. I have almost completed the chassis and running gear. I have only to make the expansion links and their coupling rods, join the steam pipe up and it will run on compressed air.
many thanks for any help.
