In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...

Pilot pressure can be understood as the pneumatic control signal that defines the setpoint of a regulator. This pilot signal is generated by a separate pilot device in pressure control systems that ...

Control valve selection plays a crucial role in optimizing control loop performance, and engineers must consider factors beyond just cost, leakage class and pressure drop. As explored in a Control ...

On any type of refrigeration system, from small reach-in coolers all the way to large chillers, controlling the head pressure of the refrigerant is important. That’s because it helps keep the system ...

Precise pressure control in shell-and-tube steam condensers is crucial for ensuring efficiency in thermal power plants. However, traditional controllers (PI, PD, PID) struggle with nonlinearities and ...

To address the issues of motion disturbance and low loading accuracy in electro-hydraulic load simulation systems, and to effectively mitigate the impact of uncertainty on system performance, this ...
