Publication number: 20240069578Abstract: A control system is configured to monitor operation of a flow control, like a control valve. These configurations can use of continuous or real-time data to evaluate fitness or function of the device under operating conditions. This feature can alert operators to problems or issues with one or more devices, or process lines in total. These problems may, for example, indicate that a valve is incorrectly sized for actual working conditions. As a result, engineers may find that the valve is too big (or oversize) or too small (or undersize) because the design process for layout of the process line relies upon a design load that reflects a future maximum (plus some factor of safety), and not the actual working conditions that might prevail once the device is in service in the field.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Vladimir Dimitrov Kostadinov, Joseph Georges Shahda, Cyril Nicolas Vlassoff, Jeremy Asher Glaun, David Chunhe Zhou, Christopher Bittner, Justin Walter Betley
