Opposed Blade Damper vs. Single Blade Butterfly Damper: Technical Benefits for Flow Control
When it comes to flow control in ducting systems, choosing the right damper design is crucial. Two common options are the opposed blade damper and the single blade butterfly damper. Here’s an explanation of the technical benefits offered by an opposed blade damper compared to a single blade butterfly damper: Improved Control Range: Opposed Blade Damper: The opposed blade damper design features multiple blades that move in opposite directions, […]
Backup Power IS Primary Power
As seen in Mission Critical Magazine In large, critical applications, loss of power is not an option. Fuel System Controllers can help provide a secure on-site source of reliable power. Losing power in a major data storage application can cause catastrophic damage. The results can range from the inability to process customer transactions or access data to delays […]
Technical Summary: Influence of Chemical Kinetics and Turbulence on Combustion Emissions
Dan Wallace Chemical kinetics and turbulence play critical roles in the formation and control of combustion emissions. Understanding their influence is essential for optimizing combustion processes and minimizing harmful pollutants. Here is a technical summary of how chemical kinetics and turbulence affect combustion emissions: Chemical Kinetics: Chemical kinetics refers to the study of chemical reactions and their rates. […]
Powerful and Flexible PCCIV Controller
A Central Massachusetts manufacturing facility has applied our PCC-IV loop controller to maintain two boilers’ water level control, and a DCS IV control and protect the deaeration and feed water processes. Preferred engineers designed the control system, programmed the safety interlocks and controls, touch screen graphics. Purchased the field instruments and drives, and coordinated our field service efforts […]
PREFERRD’S SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR HYDROGEN & SPECIAL FUELS
Because of its instability, hydrogen is “blended” with natural gas and used as a “green” fuel, usually in large industrial applications that have excess Hydrogen on hand or are making a targeted move toward lowering of emissions and meeting environmental regulations. The blending process is delicate and yet is essential in keeping steady combustion and avoiding expensive outages. […]
