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 ...

After writing a blog post about leaking temperature and pressure relief (TPR) valves at water heaters, I learned that this particular issue seems to completely befuddle folks. In the two years that I ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
