If only one spring were used on each valve, the valve would surge and bounce because of the natural vibration frequency of the spring.

When valve overlap happens to aircraft reciprocating engine?

High performance piston aircraft engines do have valve overlap, just like high performance engines used in land vehicles, and for the same reasons. Listen to the Continental O-470, IO-520, IO-550, even IO-360 at idle (or Lycoming IO-540) and you can hear the same exhaust note quality as a racing car engine.


Why food valve is not essential in case of reciprocating pupm?

A food valve is not essential in a reciprocating pump because these pumps are designed to create a pressure differential that allows fluid to flow without the need for a valve to control the inlet or outlet. The reciprocating action of the pump's piston or diaphragm effectively manages the flow, preventing backflow and ensuring consistent delivery of fluid. Additionally, the pump's design inherently accommodates the necessary sealing and pressure retention, making a food valve redundant for its operation.
