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, ...

Bypass pipes, accompanied by a three-way control valve, are often seen in hydronic systems at both served loads (e.g., reheat coils) as well as at primary equipment (e.g., cooling towers). Reasons for ...

Some combined cycle plants have two feedwater-control valves: a small startup valve with the extra cavitation protection needed during startup and low-load operations, and a larger main valve with the ...

Good air removal is crucial to the proper operation of any closed system. It is generally accepted that if a minimum pressure of 4-5 psig is maintained at the top of a closed hydronic system, all of ...

Radiators remain one of the most common heating solutions in homes across the United Kingdom. While much attention is given ...

Nuclear power plant cooling water facilities are the heart and arteries of continuous online operations. The pumps, valves and piping systems are essential components that allow the plant to operate ...
