Pneumatic furnace damper drives may be more common, but electro-hydraulic actuators provide several advantages to the more traditional control scheme. One fossil-fired plant in Taiwan achieved more ...

The boiler room is probably the most important location in any facility. Without steam or hot water, most processes would not function, people would be cold, electrical grids would blackout, and ...

Combustion equipment safety is essential for the daily operation of facilities and safety of plant personnel. Safety protocols and mechanisms in industrial plants have improved drastically in the last ...

THE ELECTRIC UTILITY industry’s transition into the age of deregulation is driving the need to improve the thermal performance of fossil-fueled plants. In order to stay competitive utilities must ...

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 ...

An algorithm has been developed for the control of semi-active dampers which uses the feedback of displacement and velocity signals measured across the damper. This algorithm has been called "relative ...

Field Controls Co. is recalling and replacing affected Effikal vent dampers installed since 2007 on select gas boilers. The company is asking service technicians to inspect all Effikal vent dampers ...
