Sensing some “current events” ahead? And no, we don’t mean tuning into your local news outlet. Bad puns aside, current sensors are an essential part of commercial Building Automation Systems (BAS), playing a key role in improving and maintaining energy efficiency and smart building technology. As a quick refresher, a BAS is a network of different devices and software that work together through automation to monitor and control variou …

Pressure Dependent Valves 1)What type of valve would the customer like?Ball Valve (CCV, ZoneTight, Industrial), Globe Valve or Butterfly Valve 2)Calculating the CV.What is CV? CV = The amount of water flow (GPM) through a fully open valve with 1 psi pressure drop.Why is CV important?If CV is too high, that means the valve is oversized and this will result in sloppy control and inefficient system performance.If CV is too low, that could result in insufficient flow and starve the coil. Y …
