Flow Control – Positive Displacement Pump Part 2

Terry Blevins

When using a positive displacement pump in flow control, then the minimum flow which may be achieved using a variable speed drive is limited by the motor low speed limit. It is possible to achieve a wider range of flow control by regulating flow using a fixed speed motor and a throttling valve in combination … Continue reading » Read the full text.

Flow Control – Positive Displacement Pump Part 1

Terry Blevins

Positive displacement pumps may be used when it is necessary address flow requirements of 2GPM or less. The pump design ( e.g. vane, gear, peristaltic) selected for a particular application should be based on properties of the liquid and the expected operating condition. One characteristic of a positive displacement pump is that when it is … Continue reading » Read the full text.

Flow Control – Centrifugal Pump

Terry Blevins

Centrifugal pumps can be used to transfer large volumes of liquid between vessels in an industrial process. When a constant speed motor is used to drive the pump then the pump flow rate may be controlled by adjusting a throttling valve that is installed after the pump discharge, as illustrated below. The pump discharge pressure … Continue reading » Read the full text.

WirelessHART – Monitoring and Control of On-Off Valves

Terry Blevins

A number of WirelessHART devices have been introduced over the last few years to monitor the status of on/off valves. For example, the TopWorx 4310 WirelessHART Valve Position Monitor can be used detect linear and rotary movement using non-contact technology with limit switch feedback. Such devices provide a low cost way to monitor the position … Continue reading » Read the full text.

WirelessHART – Level Switch

Terry Blevins

In many tank level control applications, a level switch is installed and used as an interlock to help prevent overfilling the tank. For example, in many existing installations you may find a vibrating fork liquid level switch wired as an input to the control system. However, today it is possible to reduce the cost of installing a … Continue reading » Read the full text.

Using Wireless Measurements In Control Applications

Terry Blevins

Wireless transmitters may be preferred in applications where new measurements are required since the cost may be lower than that associated with installing wired transmitters. However, there is a significant differences in the frequency and manner in which a new measurement value is updated by a wired transmitter vs. a wireless transmitter. Such differences must … Continue reading » Read the full text.
