From Experience – February 2025
Maintaining optimal pressure within a liquid system is crucial for ensuring all the users are getting required flow, which helps prevent process upsets. Flow and pressure are interrelated in a pressurized system. In the February issue of Hixson’s From Experience newsletter, we look at the design considerations for pressure control in liquid systems. Read it […]
Read moreThree Key Reasons For Utilizing Simulation
Spreadsheet programs are used for data analysis by nearly every organization across the globe. While these programs work well for quick data analysis, they struggle with modeling complex systems. In manufacturing, simulation provides a more advanced solution for developing models that include the various micro-processes making up a larger production line. In the latest issue […]

Read moreUnderstanding Building Automation System (BAS) Communication Protocols
A Building Automation System (BAS) integrates various controls to enhance energy efficiency and reduce operational costs. However, ensuring all equipment works in harmony presents a key challenge: For optimal performance, the devices within a BAS must communicate seamlessly. This communication depends on protocols – standardized methods for exchanging data between devices. In the latest issue […]
Read moreNitrogen vs. Compressed Air for Dry Sprinkler Systems
Many facilities use compressed air for dry sprinkler systems, due to convenience and a lower initial investment. However, compressed air is also a common failure point for these systems, as its use can lead to pinhole leaks. Since these leaks can compromise entire sections of the dry sprinkler system, daily operations must be shut down […]
