Variable speed drives are transforming modern irrigation by shifting control from valves to pump speed. Instead of running motors at full capacity and throttling flow, the drives adjust motor speed to ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

Variable valve timing and variable valve lift may sound similar, but they're entirely different. Here are the differences between them and how they work.

After all, the best value comes when a product enhances production and profitability. That is why ROSS is pleased to introduce customers to its two latest additions to the ROSS product family—the new ...

Control valves experience significant reaction loads when they regulate choked flow. The highly restrictive, complex flow path of existing severe-service valves dissipates the forces from ...

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.

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, ...

Beyond the wheel, the most important mechanical equipment serving humanity is the centrifugal pump. Centrifugal pumps make modern quality of life possible. Turn on a faucet and a centrifugal turbine ...

This, in turn, controls the speed at which the piston strokes while extending or retracting, depending on the location in the circuit. J-Series valves allow free flow from inlet to outlet past the ...
