The application, cost and control system scheme can all play a part in choosing an actuator.
Valves
Valves regulate and control flow and pressure in pumping systems. They also play an important role in site safety. Understanding the types of valves and how they work can help end users select the right valves for their application’s use.
Considerations for valves that are often overlooked or undefined.
A variable speed pump station design will require additional considerations.
Factors such as scaling, orientation and cycle time must be considered to avoid potential issues.
The more gradually a system can slow its flow, the better a pressure surge is mitigated.
Understand how to maintain safety and reliability.
