Hydraulic Pump Control helps reduce power consumption.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 07:36:30 -0500

Using pump-modeling software which is based on feed-forward torque control algorithms, UNiGY® PhD can continually sense demand of hydraulic power, energizing the pump only as required by the application. System also employs current signature analysis to sense common environmental hazards associated with hydraulic systems. It can be retrofitted into existing systems and incorporated into new installations to monitor/control high pressure positive displacement pumps.

Constant Pressure Valves eliminate pump cycling.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 07:53:31 -0500

Designed to regulate downstream pressure, Cycle Gard® Constant Pressure Pump Control Valves provide constant pressure until demand in system is no longer required. They feature hydraulically operated valve requiring no electricity and help eliminate effect of water hammer. Depending on valve model, integral/external low flow by-pass allows system pressure to slowly rise under low demand and fill tank or reservoir until pressure switch setting is reached, shutting pump off.
