NFPA has released its first technology-focused case study, developed in collaboration with Bosch Rexroth, examining how secondary controlled hydraulic circuits can improve efficiency, precision, and energy management in marine and offshore applications.
The case study, Precision & Efficiency Gains from Secondary Controlled Hydraulic Circuits in the Offshore/Marine Environment, explores how secondary control technology enables highly dynamic motion control while recovering and reusing energy that would otherwise be lost.
