Description: The KE2 Temp+Valve Control (KE2 Temp+VC) provides an entry-level electronic controller that serves the functions of a superheat controller — thermostat, defrost clock, and electronic ...

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.

In aerospace equipment, the deflector jet servo valve is a high-end core control component of electro-hydraulic servo systems. The pre-stage is crucial because of the compact structure and complex jet ...

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 ...

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is the most common industrial technology for closed-loop control. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller can be used to control temperature, ...

What lurks beneath the surface? What is underneath, where eyes cannot see? Is it something valuable? Is it something old? Is it some treasure or something frightening to behold? These are common ...

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 ...

Directional-control valves are vital in any pneumatic circuit, directing or blocking airflow to control the speed or sequence of operations. One method of classifying directional-control valves is by ...

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 ...
