Fluid Control Systems 
Acro has extensive knowledge in the design of fluid control
and handling systems. By applying the principles of hydraulics,
and fluid dynamics, with our logic control experience,
we provide complete design support for your fluid control
system requirements.
Our system design services may include
one or more of the following: system layout, component
sizing, materials, power, feedback and control interface
recommendations. Below is a short list of common fluid
control system considerations (there are many more).
System Design Considerations
- Environmental /Regulatory conditions (clinical, laboratory,
industrial)
- Number of media (fluid) types (used or created by system)
- Change-over frequency (and purging requirements)
- Media (fluid) pressure, temperature, viscosity, corrosive
properties
- Material compatibility
- Line losses
- Power available
- Cycle rates
- Feedback (closed loop) requirements
- Space restrictions
- Piping & Wire Harnessing
System Component Considerations
- Media supply source (tank or other)
- Supply lines (tubing or piping) and fittings
- Valves (number of control points)
- Valve type (normally open or closed, electric or pneumatic)
- Pumps (pressure or vacuum)
- Sensors (pressure, vacuum, flow, temperature, weight)
- Control module (PLC or LabView)
- Power supply
- Component mounting or enclosure
