SIM 2301 Temperature Control – Feedback

Model Description

The inlet flow of heating fluid is varied by a temperature controller monitoring the process fluid outlet temperature.

The inlet temperature of the process fluid can be varied.

Disturbances can be added to the temperature of the heating fluid to allow realistic learning on how the control method responds to the type of disturbances found on a real plant.

The P&ID settings of the controller can be altered to improve the tuning of the controller for the various conditions that can be created.

The simulation includes exercise’s based around the tuning of the pressure control system.

Learning Areas

• Introduction to heat exchange.
• Introduction to process control.
• Benefits of feedback control.
