• About Parker Meggitt San Diego, CA - Sorrento (Energy Sensing & Controls), Energy Sensors & Controls is a leading supplier of small-frame gas turbine actuation systems and fuel metering valves for the oil and gas and power generation sectors. Energy capabilities center on enabling power plants to work at peak efficiency and safety, minimizing the worry of regulatory fines or customer dissatisfaction
• About Parker Meggitt San Diego, CA - Sorrento (Energy Sensing & Controls) - Past, Present, Future:
• Formerly Precision Engine Controls Corporation (PECC), this location was acquired by Meggitt in 2014 as our products enable the integration of valves and actuators with electronic turbine controls, rather than having to package them separately on the turbine. This eliminates the need for wiring between the electronics and control units, a potential weak spot.
• With already established industrial valve engineering capability, the acquisition gave Meggitt a major market share in two key industrial gas turbine market segments - aero-derivative (30MW-6-MW) and small frame (<30MW) - and a much broader all-electric product portfolio.
