Control loop configurations for chemical process variables





The different control loop configurations for different process variables are given below.Its just the simplest configurations used in control systems.


1. Level control.

Figure. Control loops for continuous level control.
a - by the control of an inlet stream; b - by the control of an outlet stream;
c - cascade control loop.


Figure:  Level control in evaporator.


2. Pressure control

About This Blog

Hai friends…welcome to my blog. This blog is exclusively for instrumentation engineering students which will provide sources for their reference and studies. As you all know Instrumentation is now a fast emerging and developing field in Engineering. This blog has different categories like PLC, SCADA, DCS, Sensors and Transducers, Computer control of process, Industrial Instrumentation, etc.

This blog will also provide an exclusive ‘ASK ME’ section where you can make any queries and share your ideas about instrumentation. The solution for your queries will be given to you by mail from best of my knowledge and reference.

So I wish this blog may be very useful for your studies and reference.
