Pressure relief valves (PRVs) are a critical line of defense for pressure vessel protection in the power industry. Generating facilities worldwide depend upon these devices to sense and quickly ...

Hydraulic circuits are comprised of cylinders, valves, pumps, and are connected via hydraulic pipes and tubes. The complexity of these components are difficult to represent fully so hydraulic symbol ...

When needed, surge tanks can provide a critical feature to the hydraulic design of hydropower projects. Principally, they can mitigate the overpressure effects of pressure transients or water hammer ...

These graphs compare the pressure/flow characteristics of orifice and capillary restrictors. The characteristic impedance of an orifice restrictor does not vary linearly, so it will not always match ...

CO 2 refrigeration (R-744) systems operate at significantly higher pressures compared to legacy hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) systems. For example, on hot summer days, between its medium-temperature ...

Showing off the 3D-printed hydraulics system. (Credit: Indeterminate Design, YouTube) Hydraulics are incredibly versatile, but due to the pressures at which they operate, they are also rather ...

Pressure build-up in hydraulic pipes can make hooking up implements a far more tedious task than it needs to be. To put an end to this irksome problem, Australian engineer Keith Soar has come up with ...

In 1905, a boiler in a Boston shoe factory blew up, traveled a great distance through the air, and landed, with delightful justice, in the front yard of the operating engineer’s house. Think it got ...

Webster Valve, Inc. in Franklin has long played a pivotal role in the development and growth of its parent company Watts Regulator Co., which is a subsidiary of Watts Water Technologies, Inc., a multi ...
