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 ...

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 ...

Identify the forces that act on closure components and actuators. Describe how these forces work in the positioning of closure components. Prepare equations required to determine an actuator (i.e.

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.

The new generation of 435 Series actuators will replace the prior AME 15QM Series of actuator for the AB-QM pressure-independent control valve (PICV). The AME 435QM and AMV 435 are the first of a new ...

Festo revises its approach to actuator control valves to create new product designs that are 50 percent smaller than comparable actuators. Conventional version of actuator with components added-on ...

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 ...

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 ...

QUZHOU, ZHEJIANG, CHINA, January 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As global industries continue to pursue higher ...

3D printing techniques enable quieter, higher performing designs for final control elements. Control valve noise is a problem in many plant environments. The sound is created by very high pressure ...

On/off valves are basically on/off switches for hydraulic systems. They are typically installed in applications where precise position or speed control is not required. Proportional valves adjust flow ...
