Young & Franklin Inc. (Y&F) and its solely owned subsidiary, Tactair Fluid Controls Inc., are manufacturers for
OEMs and Aftermarket for Land Based Combustion Turbines, Steam Turbines and Aerospace Products. For over 90
years our engineers have tackled the most challenging applications in process industries and controls, and are at the
forefront of development and implementation of state-of-the-art electric systems that will upgrade the performance and
reliability of turbine fuel & air controls. In addition, Y&F develops standard component products as well as complete
engineered solutions for OEMs and aftermarket applications. Our products are installed on turbines used for land as
well as offshore platform based power generation and pipeline compressor drives. The company, founded in 1918, is
privately owned and is located in Liverpool, a suburb of Syracuse, New York.

The durability and quality of our products made us a primary supplier of controls to the worlds industrial turbine
market. Having decades of experience continues to make us the supplier of choice. As the primary fuel and air
controls supplier with over 23,000 turbines installed globally (including over 98% of all IGCC projects), Y&F delivers
control solutions based on advanced new technology that provides high reliability, quality and capability, all at
affordable prices for the customer.

For over 60 years customers such as GE Energy, GE Oil & Gas, Solar Turbines, Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney, MHI
(MPS Americas Group) and others have relied on Y&Fs hydraulic expertise to control their turbines. Our robust
actuators provide the basis for high force, fail-safe, reliable hydraulic control systems and paved the way for our all-
electric technology.
For electric fail-safe and non-fail-safe fuel control applications, Y&F offers proven electromechanical actuation (EMA).
Our patented compact, linear electromechanical actuators are the basis for a complete ship-set of electric CT controls.
Pending for full release in 2012 is our all-electric Inlet Guide Vane Actuator with forces up to 40,000 pounds of linear
force and over four inches of stroke. Additionally, the unit fits in the same space as the hydraulic version.

For low force, high-precision actuation applications consider a Y&F voice coil actuated valve. Our direct-acting heat-
dissipating voice coil actuated valves have on-board integrated electronics that communicate with the provided
controller package to deliver precision and reliability with no contact between moving parts.

During the last decade, we have applied our technical expertise to precision controls for steam turbines, providing the
same integrity found in our products for combustion turbine controls. Most recently, Y&F has begun engineering and
producing new, patented actuation technologies for use with solar trough actuation for Concentrated Solar Power
(CSP) for single axis control. These products are currently being proven at sites for Y&F divergence into the widening
Green market.

The robustness of Y&F designs and extensive pre-shipment testing of our products all but eliminates the need for
unscheduled maintenance. For this reason, field servicing tends to coincide with normal turbine maintenance and
overhaul cycles. Spare components and parts, seals and other perishables are held in stock for standard or quick
shipment to meet customer requirements. Worldwide field support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through
our network of Y&F Authorized Repair & Overhaul partnerships covering 6 continents. Of course, Y&F supports North
America directly through our headquarters in Liverpool, New York.
