Help: Issue regarding temperature control of the reaction kettle
Thread Content
Our company’s pilot plant is equipped with several reaction kettles. Previously, the reaction temperature was controlled manually by adjusting the amount of cold and hot water supplied to the jacket surrounding the kettle, based on the temperature inside the kettle, in order to maintain the temperature at around 70 degrees. I now want to change it to use TIC to control the tank temperature; I’m not sure how to do this properly. I hope the experts can offer some advice!
Regulating valve assemblies are installed on the cold and hot water pipes, and temperature sensors are placed inside the reaction vessel; the signals from these sensors are sent to the regulating valves.
By the same principle, set the tracking value and configure the parameters accordingly; decide which parameter to track based on your requirements. This post was last edited by Bingdian121 on 2009-2-25 16:21.]
The kettle temperature is required to remain stable; therefore, even with a TIC regulator installed, manual control is necessary, rather than automatic control. Installing a TIC is just for easier adjustment.
A temperature sensing sensor is installed inside the reaction tank, and control valve assemblies are placed on the cold and hot water pipelines. The signals generated by the sensor are sent to these control valves; initially, it is necessary to adjust the PID parameters.
Thank you all for your valuable suggestions!
