In last month’s column [“Automatic Pumpdown Systems,” Nov. 5], we talked in general about the automatic pumpdown cycle and why it is the only sure remedy for refrigerant migration to a compressor ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...

Modular systems from Parker Boiler provide improved performance as compared to one larger boiler, as with these four small boilers. Modern boiler control systems take advantage of cutting-edge ...

Optimizing combustion control is critical to reducing emissions and increasing plant operating efficiency, particularly for fluidized bed combustion (FBC) boiler plants burning biomass fuel that has ...

It is estimated that more than 37 percent of the energy used in the U.S., excluding the generation of electricity, is for industrial applications. Further, about 50 percent of all large industrial ...

Power plants–especially coal-fired boilers–pose a set of process control problems unparalleled in other industries. Rapid load ramps, continuous unit demand changes, variable fuel quality and process ...

The design of an advanced energy-saving, inverterized motion control system requires designers to deploy various skill sets in order to be able to address the wide range of technical challenges needed ...
