Here’s how they work: a typical TRV has a temperature probe, often referred to as a “bulb,” that’s connected to a bellows in the valve or pilot actuator by a length of capillary tubing. When the bulb is heated, the liquid inside expands, causing the bellows to close off the valve or pilot. This action controls the fluid flow—usually steam or water—thereby maintaining the system or process temperature.

A water softener aims to remove hardness causing materials from water by using a salt based tank that extracts hard minerals from water before it is sent throughout the home. Water softener systems are proven to be an extremely effective method of reducing hard water effects and lime buildup both internally in pipes and plumbing fixtures, as well as externally on dishes, sinks, skin, hair, clothing, etc.

With various pilots available, it adapts to your unique needs, whether that’s reducing pressure, controlling temperature, or other applications.

Some may wonder “Is it okay to drink softened water?”,  so long as there are appropriate sodium levels, water from a water softener is safe and even preferred by some. Many believe water softeners actually improve the taste of their drinking water.

The O-Series is a simple and economical choice for reducing pressure across a variety of fluids including steam, water, air and other liquids and gases. Limited capacity when compared to the HD-Series.

Water softeners do need to be connected to the home’s water supply and plumbing system, requiring the installation to be performed by a licensed plumber, usually under the supervision of a general contractor. Costs will vary depending on the water softener system type, and the accessibility of the home’s water supply and plumbing systems. The water softener system may require occasional maintenance and water testing, which depending on the severity of the issues can be carried out either by the homeowner themselves, or for more complex issues, a water treatment specialist.

Temperature Regulating Valves, also known as TRVs, are like the unsung heroes of many processes and systems. They might not be the flashiest components, but they play a critical role in maintaining optimal temperature conditions.

Relief valves, also known as back-pressure valves, maintain specific back pressure levels or protect systems from over-pressure conditions. These small but mighty components are essential for the smooth operation and safety of various systems.

Plugged, leaking, or blowing steam traps can cost thousands of dollars in lost energy every year. Detect any waste of energy, efficiency, and dollars with a steam trap survey from Cooney Coil & Energy.

Unlike control valves, regulators are self-powered, which means they do not require any outside source of power such as air pressure or electric actuators to operate.

APEC Water Softeners use advanced automatic adjustments to reduce the waste of energy, salt, and water, ultimately reducing costs and overall environmental impact. Another financial and environmental bonus of using a water softener is the ability to use 50% less of soaps and detergents in everyday water chores.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the ins and outs of tube bundle replacement, providing facility managers and mechanical contractors with the knowledge they need to keep their systems running smoothly.

There are a few different factors that will help determine which water softener system is right for you. The size of water softener will depend on the size of your home or facility, and the volume at which water is being used. The larger the home and water usage levels the higher the water softener’s grains per gallon should be – grains per gallon being the measurement for overall water hardness.

In the realm of steam applications, we have the PBP Back-Pressure Pilot. This device works in tandem with HD Regulators to maintain upstream pressures. When the upstream pressure reaches the pilot set point, the regulator opens. This combination is often used to supply steam to low-pressure mains, ensuring a constant back-pressure on the inlet side of the regulator. However, it’s important to note that it should not be used in place of a safety relief valve.

Wondering what steam trap to choose for your steam system? Worry no more! This webinar covers: types of steam traps, drip trap sizing and trap applications.

The 403 Series are pilot-operated, piston-actuated regulators, primarily used for reducing pressure in steam systems.  Optional internal sensing line available to simplify installation. Compact size.

The 455 Series is ideal for reducing pressure on Steam & Air applications. External pressure sensing connection required.

This series is your go-to choice for pressure reduction or temperature control in steam applications, offering a variety of pilots for different needs.

Regulators are simple, cost-effective valves used for:• Reducing Pressure (PRV)• Controlling Temperature• Controlling Back Pressure

Pressure Regulating Valves (PRVs) play a crucial role in transporting steam, liquids, and other gases. These substances typically travel through piping systems at higher pressures than needed for their end use. PRVs reduce this pressure to an appropriate level for the final application.
