Selecting the Right Valve Types to Improve Process Cooling: New ASCO Whitepaper

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - July 22, 2015 - PRLog -- Help for engineers with selecting the right valve types to help improve process cooling throughout a range of industries is available in a new whitepaper that uses winemaking to illustrate the suggested tradeoffs and advantages involved in optimum valve selection (https://goo.gl/SD7RET).

The new paper, “Great Wine Coolers: Selecting valves to improve process cooling in winemaking and other industries, (https://goo.gl/SD7RET)” explains that while the cooling process in industrial winemaking is fairly straightforward, it can highlight how valves can function as surprisingly important ingredients in improving a wide variety of process cooling applications.

Key takeaways from the whitepaper include:

·         The multiple choices in selecting valve types for any type of industrial cooling application

•      Diaphragm valves are popular and affordable; may encounter plugging problems

•      Ball valves avoid plugging; are relatively expensive and maintenance-intensive

·         Angle-body piston valves are slightly more expensive than diaphragm valves; offer exceptionally long life

·         An exclusive direct-acting temperature control valve, though initially expensive, provides ultimate economy and most advanced control
