This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Today’s manufacturers routinely demand exacting precision and split-second timing from their high-speed production ...

This case study from a major wastewater plant in Kiel, Germany shows the optimisation that can be achieved with aeration ...

The cascading bypass system is perhaps the most common design for managing high-pressure steam in a combined-cycle plant. It is the hot reheat (HRH) bypass valve actuator that defines the valve’s ...

Like so many of the core technologies integral to automated industrial operations—such as motors, drives, and I/O—valves don’t always receive the attention they deserve in the automation arena.

Bypass pipes, accompanied by a three-way control valve, are often seen in hydronic systems at both served loads (e.g., reheat coils) as well as at primary equipment (e.g., cooling towers). Reasons for ...

Some combined cycle plants have two feedwater-control valves: a small startup valve with the extra cavitation protection needed during startup and low-load operations, and a larger main valve with the ...

Gasoline fumes contain a variety of hydrocarbons that constantly evaporate from the engine and fuel tank into the atmosphere. If the fuel is in the atmosphere, it can cause pollution, even if the ...

The conventional ion-exchange softeners typically depend on the periodic regeneration cycles that make use of electricity to flush brine and power control valves throughout the system. All these ...
