Pneumatic furnace damper drives may be more common, but electro-hydraulic actuators provide several advantages to the more traditional control scheme. One fossil-fired plant in Taiwan achieved more ...

It also focuses on compartmentation and the dampers used to prevent the spread of heat, fire, and smoke as they contain products of combustion. Chapter 9 of the IBC contains requirements for ...

Available with a thermally broken frame, the ICD Series of insulated control dampers consists of ultra low-leakage dampers with thermally broken insulated blades. According to the manufacturer, the ...

The main objective of this project is to develop and test a phased damping device, or “gap damper”, to act alongside a base isolation system for buildings or bridges. The gap damper provides ...

The inlet-air section of a utility boiler is a harsh environment for the dampers that control the flow of preheated air into the combustors. Over time, the hot air dries out the lubricant in the metal ...

Continuous Damping Control (CDC) is a General Motors chassis and suspension technology that optimizes a vehicle’s ride and handling to deliver the best possible driving experience. The process to ...

Magnetorheological dampers are adaptive dampers that are filled with a specialised magnetorheological fluid. The characteristics of this fluid can be altered by magnetic fields, generated by ...

While the world debates the appropriateness of famed race team and sports car purveyor Ferrari’s introduction of a crossover SUV model with the Purosangue (“pure blood”), engineers can marvel at the ...

Active suspension is an emerging secret weapon for vehicle dynamics. And that’s great news, as new automobiles are so big and heavy that they’re much less nimble in the corners. Many automakers have ...
