The proportional control valves made by Kelly Pneumatics are a vital part of the lifesaving organ transplant process. Our valves in the ventilators keep transplant patients alive during and after their surgery. The valves allow the ventilators to breathe for the patient and keep a steady flow of oxygen flowing in and out of them […]
Electronic pressure regulators have many advantages over mechanical regulators. A mechanical regulator will maintain pressure downstream, most effectively with constant flow rates. However, downstream flow and pressure will often fluctuate in most applications. Pumps and compressors deliver pulses, and the pressure will fluctuate with demand. When a mechanical pressure regulator lacks accuracy or can’t respond fast enough, […]
From their beginnings in the 1970s, mass flow controllers have come a long way in terms of their efficiency and capabilities. In the 1980s, the semiconductor industry was the biggest consumer of controllers. Then in the 1990s, manufacturers began making them more rugged and durable to suit more industrial applications. The early 2000s saw the […]
In a variety of settings, nurses are becoming more likely to care for patients on mechanical ventilators. This is because patients on a mechanical ventilator have special needs that nurses must attend to. While this is not typical for a nurse, the role now further expands into that of a technician due to advances in […]
