Water Temperature Control Bench Hydrotherm

quick overview :

Water Temperature Control Bench Hydrotherm

• Sensor performance (answer time, linearity, hysteresis).
• Justification about to use a continuous current power generator.
• Justification of the wiring with 3 wires.

• Functioning principle of the modulators.
• Problem of peak intensity during the starting.
• Modulators performance: Static power unit, Wave train dimmer.
• Functioning cycle, life time

• Calculation of the heating power.
• Observation of the temperature influence when bringing a cold piece.
• Experimental determination of the heat loss coefficient.
• Temperature distribution in the bench.
• Influence of the water level
• Temperature Control.
• Automatic control methods.
• Adjustment by discontinuous actions.
• Controller P.
• Controller PI.
• Controller PID.
• Controller PID self adaptative.
• Process answer.
• Temporal analysis.
• Influence of the setting, the mass of water, the disturbance.

Technical specifications

• A 25 litres tank.
• An immersed electrical heater.
• A temperature sensor.
• A " low level" sensor.
• A security thermostat.
• A stainless steel body centrifugal circulation pump.

The data acquisition system is proposed in option. It is made out of a data acquisition card to place into a PC computer and a software functioning under Windows®. This software allow to visualize the sizes in real time and to record them. The card is linked to the bench by the help of a plug on the front side of the electrical cabinet door.

• The power supply and safety devices of the installation: circuit breaker, contactor, fuses, transformer.
• The heating controller: 1 power unit by train of waves.
• A dimmer (in option) can be connected on the side of the cabinet (the use of another dimmer that the one proposed in option is possible on special enquiry).
• A converter for the Pt 100 probe.
• The control components.
• A PID controller auto adaptive.
• A thermostat.
• The controller and the thermostat are integrated in a synoptic on the front side of the cabinet. The synoptic, also include various measuring points permitting the study of the control loop.

• 1150 x 670 x 1470 mm - 98 kg

• Electrical power supply: single phase 230 V+T 16A
