Temperature process control carefully measures and regulates the temperature of a fluid for process in HVAC, food and beverage processing, heat treating, and chemical manufacturing. In this video, Amatrol how temperature process control works, different types of process variables, and how Amatrol can assist you in your process control training needs.
Transcript:
What is Temperature Process Control?
Temperature process control involves the precise measurement and control of the temperature of a fluid, such as a liquid or gas, within a system.
Temperature process control is critical in applications like furnaces, HVAC, food and beverage processing, heat treating, and chemical manufacturing.
Temperature is a very common process variable, because it’s a critical condition for a variety of processes.
Examples include chemical reaction, distillation, combustion, calcination, extrusion, drying, crystallization, fermentation, concentration, and air conditioning.
Temperature control usually involves routing process fluid through a heat exchanger of some type.
Common temperature sensors include thermometers, thermocouples, and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).
Despite its importance, temperature can be one of the most difficult process variables to control.
Failure to master temperature process control, however, can result in major problems with safety and quality.
Amatrol’s Temperature Process Control Learning System (T5553) teaches learners how to operate temperature process control systems in a wide variety of industrial applications.
The T5553 includes real industrial components learners will use on the job, including a chiller, heating loop network, operator interface station, and three types of temperature sensors: thermocouple, thermistor, and RTD.
