Refrigeration control valves for industrial refrigeration systems have been an important system component since the 1920s. When a control valve fails, the result can be as significant as a more costly ...

Cavitation is the implosion of tiny vapor bubbles in a liquid when the static pressure reaches the vapor pressure of the specific liquid. This happens when, due to a high pressure differential across ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
