Valves are essential elements for controlling fluid system performance. Virtually every fluid-power system requires some type of valve. In a hydraulic system, valves may control pressure, flow to an ...

Before selecting an engineered solution for any fluid control application, it is crucial to understand the unique application and overall value that each ball valve provides. Ball valves come in a ...

Equipment designers find that proportional control technology is ideal where precise performance is required in variable pressure or flow applications. Often perceived as more complicated than other ...

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 ...

Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...

On any type of refrigeration system, from small reach-in coolers all the way to large chillers, controlling the head pressure of the refrigerant is important. That’s because it helps keep the system ...

Off-highway construction machinery can exponentially benefit from a simple system upgrade to improve efficiency and overall ...

Learn about the proper location for those valves, managing blowoff steam and turbine exhaust, and more. Very few deaerators utilize vessels that are not constructed and stamped in accordance with ASME ...

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 ...

The Aventics Series 625 Sentronic proportional pressure control valves feature a control deviation of less than 0.5% to deliver accurate, electronic proportional pressure control and provide the ...
