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 improved slag flow control valve, designed by high capacity furnace and smelting plant specialist, Tenova Pyromet, has performed consistently well on its first commercial installation, operating ...

Scaling is one of the most frequently occurring problems in geothermal power plants and can prohibit the control of well flow if it builds in the well or wellhead. At HS Energy on the Reykjanes ...

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 ...

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, ...

If you suddenly have the need for a two-way, flow control valve — from a valve-selection standpoint — what kind of questions do you ask yourself? Many, perhaps, don’t ask any questions and may make ...

Less leakage results in reduced product loss, increased efficiency, and improved energy management. Figure 1. This control valve is subjected to EPA’s Method 21 “sniff ” test to determine the fugitive ...
