Flow Process Training System

Description of Flow Process Training System

The Flow Process Training System is a compact and mobile unit for a wide range of experiments in flow control. It gives students a greater understanding of the stability of simple control systems. The self-contained unit can do many experiments, but it can also connect to other products in the range for extra experiments. For cascade control of flow and pressure, it can link to the optional Pressure Process Training System. For cascade control of flow and level, it can link to the optional Level Process Training System. For distributed control, it can connect to the optional Computer Control System.

The main parts of the Flow Process Training System are:

• Industrial controller with auto-tune feature
• Two-channel chart recorder
• A gap-type (rotameter) flow meter
• Fixed orifice and pressure transmitter
• Pneumatic control valve
• Three-speed pump
• Reservoir

Experiments of Flow Process Training System

• Proportional, integral and derivative control
• Setting up and demonstrating automatic control
• The principles of loop control and the calibration and tuning of controllers, transmitters, converters and valves
• Calibration of an orifice flow meter with a differential pressure transmitter
• Quadratic flow laws and square root extraction
• Cascade control of pressure and flow, and level and flow
