Nice feature from Avintia Blusens and their Crew Chief Francesco Guidotti, doing some explaining on what pneumatic valves are, how they work and why more teams are going for this technology. The ...

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 ...

An oscillating control valve may appear to be the source of control instability and repair efforts are usually focused only there. When this fails to solve the issue, further investigation often ...

Variable valve timing (VVT) and variable valve lift (VVL) have very similar names, both referring to variable valve performance. Does that mean that they are basically the same thing? The are most ...

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.

Describe the forces at work tending to create instability in control valves, including inherent and installed stability. Define design improvements to improve inherent stability. Include general ...

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 ...
