From the receiver it is led into the low-pressure cylinder, C1, and thence into the condenser.
Sidenote: Condensing Equipment] Each engine unit is supplied with its own condenser equipment, consisting of two barometric condensing chambers, each attached as closely as possible to its respective low-pressure cylinder.
This riser is between the pair of engines and back of the high-pressure cylinder, thus passing through the so-called pipe area, where it also receives exhaust steam from the pump auxiliaries.
Their engines are single-acting, and the small or high-pressure cylinder is placed on the top of the larger or low-pressure cylinder.
The pistons move in opposite directions, and steam is exhausted from the high-pressure cylinder directly into the nearer end of the low-pressure cylinder.
At their lower ends a single valve serves as exhaust-valve to the high-pressure and as steam-valve to the low-pressure cylinder.
The effect of a triple-expansion engine is sometimes obtained in a measure by making the volume of the low-pressure cylinder of a compound engine 6 or 7 times that of the high-pressure.
The usual practice is to make the volume of the low-pressure cylinder from 2.
In the case of vertical engines, the low-pressure cylinder is sometimes divided into two parts in order to reduce the size of cylinder and piston.

Why is one cylinder on a compound locomotive called the high-pressure cylinder and the other one a low-pressure cylinder?
It is always larger than its companion high-pressure cylinder in order to get the same power from the low-pressure steam.
The steam, when exhausted from the high-pressure cylinder, passed into another cylinder of equal stroke but larger diameter, where the expansion continued.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "pressure cylinder" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
