Tanks temperature control

Tank temperature control systems have permitted an almost perfect regulation of the maceration temperature during fermentation. Cool grape crops and excessively cool fermenting juice can be... 

To implement cascade control into your existing simulation, delete the feedforward controller but retain the tank level controller and the original tank temperature controller. The tank temperature controller will now be the master controller for the cascade loop.

Storage tanks, lines, and pumps should be heat traced and insulated to enable product handling. Temperature control is required to prevent product degradation because of color alkan olamines have poor heat transfer properties. Exposure to air will also cause product discoloration. Storage tanks should be nitrogen-padded if low color product is required. 

Capacity Control The simplest way to regulate the capacity of most steam vacuum refrigeration systems is to furnish several primary boosters in parallel and operate only those required to handle the heat load. It is not uncommon to have as many as four main boosters on larger units for capacity variation. A simple automatic on-off type of control may be used for this purpose. By sensing the chilled-water temperature leaving the flash tank, a controller can turn steam on and off to each ejector as required. 

Tank material A mild-steel (MS) tank with a wall thickness of 4-6 mm having a heating arrangement and a thermostat temperature control will be required. Since the phosphoric acid-based, rust solvent is corrosion resistant, no tank lining is necessary. The heaters and thermostat may be of stainless steel or lead-covered for better durability. 

This research used mechanically agitated tank reactor system shown in Fig. 1. The reactor, 102 mm in diameter and 165 mm in height, was made of transparant pyrex glass and was equipped with four baffles, 120 mm in length and 8 mm in width, and six blades disc turbine impeller 45 mm in diameter and 12 mm in width. The impeller was rotated by electric motor with digital impeller rotation speed indicator. Waterbath thermostatic, equipped with temperature controller was used to stabilize reactor temperature. Gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient kia was determined using dynamic oxygenation method as has been used by Suprapto et al. [11]. 

P 11] Reactions were performed in a completely stirred tank reactor of 10 ml volume [84]. The stirrer was set to 700 rpm. The reactor was immersed in a water bath. Owing to the small size of the reactor, special precautions had to be taken for stirring and for temperature control of the bath [84].

The temperature of a continuous flow of material through a steam-heated stirred tank is controlled by regulating the flow of steam. The tank temperature is measured by a thermocouple set inside a thermowell, giving a delayed temperature measurement response. This example is based on that of Robinson (1975). 

Figure 5.164. Tank temperature versus time for two values of Kc (1.5 and 2.0), with XI = 10000. The changes at T=10 and T=20 are programmed step changes in the inlet water flow rate. Oscillations and offset are caused by sub-optimal controller tuning.

Temperature control in a stirred-tank heater is a common example (Fig. 2.9). We will come across it many times in later chapters. For now, we present the basic model equation, and use it as a review of transfer functions. 

In a SISO system, we manipulate only one variable, so we must make a decision. Since our goal is to control the tank temperature, it would be much more sensible to manipulate the steam temperature TH instead of the inlet temperature. We can arrive at this decision with physical... 

With the stirred-tank heater, we know quite well by now that we want to manipulate the heating coil temperature to control the tank temperature. The process function Gp is defined based on this decision. In this simple illustration, the inlet temperature is the only disturbance, and the load function is defined accordingly. From Section 2.8.2 and Eq. (2-49b) on page 2-25, we have the first order process model ... 

The cold-water supply for the tempered water system will be ordinary cooling water. No attempt will be made to keep its temperature constant. The hot-water temperature will be maintained constant by opening and closing the steam input to the hot-water storage tank. Close control is not necessary. 

During its preparation from fuming nitric acid and acetic anhydride, strict temperature control and rate of addition of anhydride are essential to prevent a runaway violent reaction [1], An explosion occurred during preparation in a steel tank [2], It should not be distilled, as explosive decomposition may occur [1],...
