About This Product
Students can run the continuous column under vacuum and study the control of cooling water flow and residual pressure using the PID controller, pneumatic valves and 4–20 mA field signals. The controller's serial card provides a communication link.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which variables are controlled pneumatically?
The flow rate of the condenser cooling water and the residual pressure, each by a pneumatic valve with Cv = 0.32, supplied through 2 electro-pneumatic converters (4–20 mA to 0.2–1 bar).
Can the plant work under vacuum?
Yes. It has a vacuum circuit with trap, an oil vacuum pump rated 4 m3/h and a residual pressure transmitter covering 0–1000 mbar.
What are the tank capacities?
Feed tank 5 litres, distillate tank 1 litre and bottoms product tank 2 litres; the reboiler holds 3 litres.
