    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the role of hydraulics in controlling the rate at which Monterey Energy Resources of Montgomery County Inc. feeds the trash into the incinerator. It uses thermal energy to fire boilers and drive turbines. Fixed-displacement pumps were replaced with A10VSO-DR Size 18 piston ones from Bosch Rexroth Hydraulics. John Polidore, plant operations and maintenance manager for Monterey, wrote the program that commands the hydraulics to react to boiler operating conditions.
