Relationships      
Parents composant d'un appareil A fundamental concept that applies in many engineering domains. An EngineeringComponent is an element of a Device that is a physically whole object, such as one might see listed as standard parts in a catalog. The main difference betweeen EngineeringComponents and arbitrary globs of matter is that EngineeringComponents are object-like in a modeling sense. Thus, an EngineeringComponent is not an arbtrary subregion, but a part of a system with a stable identity.
  FluidPowerDevice An EngineeringComponent in function of which play role fluid-power energetical interactions.
Children BleederValveA Valve designed for use in BleedingAir, typically from hydraulics such a brake lines.
 DirectionalControlValveValve that controls the direction of flow of a fluid
 ExhaustValveA Valve that opens to let the Exhaust escape into the ExhaustManifold.
 IntakeValve
 ManifoldHeatControlValveA device present on older vehicles with Carburetors that sends hot Exhaust gases to pre-heat the FuelVapor for more efficient Combustion.
 PositiveCrankcaseVentilationValveA valve that is designed to send unburned fuel that escapes into the Crankcase back to the CombustionChamber.
 PressureControlValvevalve that controls the pressure in a fluid
 SalineLockA saline lock is a valve that is intended to be connected to an IVLine. It is pre-filled with a SalineSolution since that has a neutral effect (it is isotonic) on the Blood.
