PCT61 Flow Control Didactic Equipment Vocational Training Equipment Process Control Trainer
DESCRIPTION Flow process control is a critical aspect of various industries, including chemical, petrochemical, manufacturing, and food production. Students who understand flow control principles are better prepared for careers in these fields. Proper flow control is essential for optimizing production processes. Students learn how to regulate the flow of materials or fluids in a way that minimizes waste, maximizes product quality, and improves overall process efficiency. The PCT61 Flow control system introduces students to fundamental control concepts, such as feedback control, proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, and closed-loop control systems. The Flow system consists of a water tank, variable speed pump, a turbine type flow sensor, an electrically operated proportional valve and a variable area flow meter (rotameter). This allows students to adjust the flow rate via the pump speed and the valve opening to develop a PID based control system.
