Pneumatic Actuators for Valves and Dampers: Clip 1 of 5

Pneumatic Actuators for Valves and Dampers: Clip 1 of 5- Webinar from Industrial Controls with speakers John Graham and Carl Johnsen, May 19, 2010.

Session III of the pneumatic series follows on our first two sessions that addressed pneumatic air systems, clean air requirements, thermostats, transmitters and receiver/controllers. Now we move to actuators where we will look at such things as:

Spring range
Sequencing
Close-off pressure
Normally open vs. normally closed and why
We will also touch briefly on how DDC often controls pneumatic actuators.

John Graham and Carl Johnsen (instructors from Session I) return to conduct this practical session on the "workhorses" of the pneumatic system.

What You Will Learn:

The course will teach you how to understand the workings of actuators as discrete devices and how they are used to control dampers and valves. It will also lead to an understanding of their role in the entire pneumatic system, and how they interface with other devices, such as thermostats. Expect this to be a "practical" session geared towards applications vs. engineering.

Who Should Attend: Maintenance people at the user level and service technicians

Speaker(s):
John Graham is a senior engineer at Industrial Controls and has close to 30 years experience in the industry. In that time, he has worked with mechanical contractors and industrial and commercial customers selecting discrete components and designing HVAC and industrial solutions. Pneumatics and combustion are two of his many areas of expertise. John did his undergraduate work at the Milwaukee School of Engineering.

Carl Johnsen is a Commercial Distributor Rep for Honeywell and has been with them for 37 years. Carl was previously a New Construction Technician, Service & Installation Manager, and a National Accounts Manager. Carl graduated from the University of Illinois with a BS degree in Industrial Education. Carl has his FAA - Airframe & PowerPlant Mechanic License, FCC - 1st Class License with Ship Radar Endorsement, and is a Certified Energy Manager.
