  2. Automatic balancing valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_balancing_valve

    This means the valve is capable of delivering 40% more flow than required. As pressure increases in our variable flow system, our valve will deliver this extra pressure flow. This excess flow will cause the temperature to over-shoot the set-point. Once the room sensor has detected this overflow it will close the actuator, causing a sharp drop ...

  3. Pressure-balanced valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-balanced_valve

    The pressure-balanced shower valve compensates for changes in water pressure. It has a diaphragm or piston inside that reacts to relative changes in either hot or cold water pressure to maintain balanced pressure. As water pressure drops on one supply line, the valve reduces the pressure in the other supply line to match.

  4. Hydronic balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronic_balancing

    This simplifies balancing procedures and enables the installation to be more precisely controlled. Pressure independent valves combine the balancing and control functions in one valve and use springs and/or membranes to precisely control the flows in the distribution network. As such they need no measuring or balancing procedure.

  5. Testing, adjusting, balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testing,_adjusting,_balancing

    Balancing is the methodical regulation of system fluid flows (air or water) through the use of acceptable procedures to achieve the desired or specified design airflow or water flow. When beginning the balance of a system, you must locate the terminal with the least amount of flow in regards to the engineer's drawing.

  6. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure , temperature , and liquid level.

  7. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    A back-pressure regulator, back-pressure valve, pressure sustaining valve or pressure sustaining regulator is a control valve that maintains the set pressure at its inlet side by opening to allow flow when the inlet pressure exceeds the set value.

  8. Flow process chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_process_chart

    Subway Fare Card Machine Flow Process Chart (which doesn't use the ASME standard set of symbols). The flow process chart is a graphical and symbolic representation of the activities performed on the work piece during the operation in industrial engineering.

  9. Hydraulic clearance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_clearance

    Leakage in narrow clearance, spool valve. Hydraulic clearance. Flow in narrow clearances are of vital importance in hydraulic system component design. The flow in a narrow circular clearance of a spool valve can be calculated according to the formula below if the height is negligible compared to the width of the clearance, such as most of the clearances in hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors ...
