As a child, I used to love watching Shirley Temple's movies and I was drawn to reading her autobiography, Child Star. This was one of the best Hollywood autobiographies I have ever read because of the way Shirley gave a complete overview of her life.
Definition of engineer's brake valve. : a valve in the cab of a locomotive for operating the air brake.
Brake valve pressure setting is independent of system pressure. This means a lower or higher pressure on the brake valve does not affect the systemâs maximum operating pressure. Brake valves are necessary when a hydraulic motorâs load tries to make it go faster than the pump or control circuit feeds it. In a winch application, a directional valve shifts to lower a load. Without a brake valve, the winch load falls freely, the motor cavitates, and the circuit is unsafe.
