Air-to-Air Booster: Doing More With Less

Posted by Cowan Dynamics on Dec 7, 2017 11:40:00 AM

 

 

Consisting of a basic system plus an air-to-air booster, pneumatic booster air systems are designed for applications in which the available air pressure is too low and where space for additional air tanks is limited.

What is a Mill-Type Cylinder?

Posted by Cowan Dynamics on Jul 26, 2017 11:07:00 AM

Mill-Type cylinders are cylinders designed to fill a need for a more durable, more reliable product to reduce down-time and maintenance costs. Based on design specifications that are not subject to NFPA limitations, the mill-type cylinder has heavy-duty construction with steel flanged end caps, heavy-wall steel tubing, bigger pistons, bearings, advanced gland design, and numerous other features. The mill-type cylinder also has a high pressure rating which is well above industry standards. Together these features assure greater reliability under the severest environmental and operational conditions.

What is Valve Automation?  Part One: Valve Actuators

Posted by Cowan Dynamics on Jul 5, 2017 12:14:00 PM

Industrial valves are flow control devices that are used in pipelines and process plants. The valve’s job is somewhat like that of a tap where the flow of the pipeline is controlled by opening or closing the valve. Valve Automation is the process of adding a valve actuator and control system to the valve. Actuators could be powered by human, electric, pneumatic or hydraulic energy.

Fail-Safe Systems: Do More With Less

Posted by Cowan Dynamics on Jun 27, 2017 12:32:00 PM

Spring-return actuators are a great mechanical solution to fail-close or fail-open process valve requirements. Over the years, we’ve made some as large as 24 feet long. However, just because we can do it doesn’t always mean it’s practical; sometimes there are weight or space constraints.
