Over the past year, Equilibar’s engineers have reported an increase in inquiries regarding process control of liquid cooling loops. These systems–also called chiller loops–are used to circulate cooling fluids to keep a process at a desired temperature. They play an important role in semiconductor manufacturing as well as hydrogen fuel cells, brewing and fermentation chambers, Read More

Equilibar’s Jennifer Jacober is a design engineer with expertise in flow control solutions for unusually complex applications. She recently helped create an animation video that demonstrates the inner workings of a new Advanced Flow Control Valve (AFC) with direct-sealing diaphragm technology. The valve has specific advantages for applications with multiple challenges and is especially useful Read More

Design engineer Jennifer Jacober earned her degree from the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University, a unique collaboration between two flagship research institutions. The experience has given her insightful experience in both engineering and medicine. “One of the projects I started working Read More

The start of a new year always brings an uptick in inquiries at Equilibar. We invite engineers and researchers to check out our product brochures for in-depth information about our innovative fluid control valves and back pressure regulators. See our product literature page or read on for a round-up of our most popular offerings. Research Read More

Equilibar was featured on the cover of the November issue of Flow Control Magazine for the article, “Beyond the classroom: an expanded view of flow control.” Written by Equilibar’s Jeff Jennings, the article explains how innovative developments over the past 20 years have resulted in new ways of taking advantage of the interaction between flow Read More

An exciting case study featuring oil well injection in the Bakken Basin of North Dakota was published in the June 2020 issue of Flow Control Magazine. Co-authored by Diane Jacober of Equilibar and Christopher Duffield of Intermountain Electronics, the article explains how direct-sealing diaphragm valves offer practical advantages for difficult flow control applications, especially those Read More

A video recently filmed in the Equilibar laboratory demonstrates a new method of maintaining consistent flow control over a wide range of flow rates–typically 100:1. This is accomplished by using an Equilibar® back pressure regulator with a pilot pressure controller and a flow meter in a PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control loop. This approach is especially useful Read More

Equilibar is featured in the March issue of Flow Control Magazine in an article explaining how direct sealing diaphragm valves offer good solutions for extremely difficult flow control scenarios. The article includes two case studies—one from ILS-Integrated Laboratory Solutions, GmBH in Berlin and the other from Pressure Control Solutions (PCS) in the Netherlands. I feel Read More

A new white paper explains how an Equilibar® can be used in combination with a mass flow sensor to provide reliable flow control for particularly difficult research applications. While Equilibar’s ability to provide excellent pressure control is well known, fewer scientists and engineers are familiar with using it for flow control, making the paper especially Read More

Flow Control Magazine recently featured an article focusing on three applications using Equilibar regulators for catalysis research. These case studies were at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Auburn University and Integrated Lab Solutions in Germany. As the article explains: “One of the challenges catalysis researchers face is finding effective fluid control systems that can operate under Read More
