Sensor response time is an important factor in control loop performance. In general, faster-responding sensors lead to better control loop performance. For steam temperature control in a fossil-fired ...

A common concern for gas turbine power plants is treating exhaust gases to comply with laws restricting pollutants present in the gases that are emitted into the ambient atmosphere. The challenge for ...

For this reason, it is important that the controller can be put into operation as quickly and with as little effort as possible. B&R introduces its new software-based closed-loop temperature control ...

Designed to simplify the integration of Knight® heating boilers into multiple temperature hydronic heating systems, the Smart System™ Multi Temperature Loop Control (MTLC) accurately controls up to ...

Starting with the sensor, measuring and controlling temperature is an essential building block of process industries. Automatic control in continuous processes uses industrial control systems to ...

Good building mechanical design requires a firm grasp of the mechanical engineering fundamentals (thermodynamics, psychrometrics, the fan laws, etc.). The same can be said about the BAS design needed ...

Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) based on the Peltier effect can be used for general cooling, but more often they’re applied to maintain a precise temperature for subsystems and components. And unlike ...

Continued demands for increased bandwidth have resulted in the deployment of fiber-optic-based networks. Solid-state lasers drive these fiber-optic lines, which can provide high information density.

Network analysis is a powerful and well-established method of characterizing and optimizing a control system. [1] Unfortunately, making a successful measurement can be difficult and frustrating ...
