A worksheet that calculates control valve installed gain can be part of any control valve selection process. For many years, the author has used, and promoted the use of, control valve installed flow ...

An expert’s journey to implementing best process control via instrumentation, control strategies and PID control ...

Active flow control using plasma actuators offers a novel and increasingly influential method for manipulating aerodynamic flows. By utilising the dielectric barrier discharge mechanism, these devices ...

A single power plant uses hundreds of valves to control almost every aspect of its operation. Valves, in conjunction with a controlling actuator, are used for pollution control, feed water, cooling ...

A new control valve is less vulnerable to damage by high-velocity fluid. Control valves experience significant reaction loads when they regulate choked flow. The highly restrictive, complex flow path ...

Plasma synthetic jet actuators (PSJAs) represent a cutting‐edge approach to active flow control by utilising pulsed plasma discharges to generate high‐speed jets. These devices have garnered ...

SARASOTA, Fla., August 21, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Helios Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: HLIO) ("Helios"), a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology, introduces ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

Plant engineers at Eskom’s Majuba Power Station in South Africa have been continuously looking for ways to improve efficiency and reliability. The six-unit, 4,000-MW, supercritical coal-fired plant ...

Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...

Aurora Flight Sciences has been chosen by DARPA to build a full-scale X-plane to demonstrate the viability of active flow control actuators for primary flight control. The award is Phase 3 of DARPA’s ...

In the field of industrial fluid control, the demand for customized imported electric kerosene flow control valves is on the rise, with their technical precision and reliability directly affecting ...
