  2. Automatic balancing valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_balancing_valve

    Pressure independent control valves are used to limit the flow to the fan coil terminal and air handling unit. This flow is not affected by changes in inlet pressure. A diaphragm within the valve keeps the outlet pressure constant, and this delivers a constant flow to the terminal. The added advantage of pressure independent control valves is ...

  3. Thermostatic mixing valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostatic_mixing_valve

    Allows water to be stored at a higher temperature; Group Control. These provide a uniform distribution temperature for all hot water outlets in a household. Designed for multi-point applications; High flow rates (from 14 to 51 US gallons per minute (53 to 193 L/min) at 45 pounds per square inch (3.1 bar)) Temperature stability; Point-of-Use

  4. Industrial process control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_process_control

    Historical milestones in the development of industrial process control began in ancient civilizations, where water level control devices were used to regulate water flow for irrigation and water clocks. During the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, there was a growing need for precise control over boiler pressure in steam engines.

    The boiler will also fire (regardless of thermostat state) when the boiler water temperature goes below a range around the low limit, ensuring that the boiler water temperature remains above a certain point. The low limit is intended for tankless domestic hot water; it ensures that boiler water is always warm enough to heat the domestic hot water.

  6. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    Pressure control provided only a proportional control that, if the control gain was too high, would become unstable and go into overshoot with considerable instability of depth-holding. The pendulum added what is now known as derivative control, which damped the oscillations by detecting the torpedo dive/climb angle and thereby the rate-of ...

  7. Bang–bang control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang–bang_control

    A water heater that maintains desired temperature by turning the applied power on and off (as opposed to continuously varying electrical voltage or current) based on temperature feedback is an example application of bang–bang control. Although the applied power switches from one discrete state to another, the water temperature will remain ...

  8. Mixing (process engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixing_(process_engineering)

    Mixing of liquids occurs frequently in process engineering. The nature of liquids to blend determines the equipment used. Single-phase blending tends to involve low-shear, high-flow mixers to cause liquid engulfment, while multi-phase mixing generally requires the use of high-shear, low-flow mixers to create droplets of one liquid in laminar, turbulent or transitional flow regimes, depending ...

  9. Temperature control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_control

    Temperature measuring and controlling module for microcontroller experiment. Temperature control is a process in which change of temperature of a space (and objects collectively there within), or of a substance, is measured or otherwise detected, and the passage of heat energy into or out of the space or substance is adjusted to achieve a desired temperature.
