Study Notes
Control Valve
- Control Valve is used to control fluid flow by varying the passage size as directed by a controller's signal
- Enables direct control of flow rate and consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, temperature, and liquid level
- Considered the most important part of a control loop, but often neglected
Automatic Regulation
- Control Valve automatically regulates pressure and/or flow rate
Metering Pump
- Moves a precise volume of liquid in a specified time period, providing an accurate volumetric flow rate
- Many Metering Pumps are rated to pump into a high discharge pressure
- Unable to pump lubricating oil
- Typically consists of a pump head and a motor
Solenoid Valve
- Differ in characteristics of the electric current they use
- Differ in the strength of the magnetic field they generate
- Differ in the mechanism they use to regulate fluid
