Simple Feedback
Figure
2.1 presents the simple feedback control configuration. The measured value of the reactor temperature is the PV input to the reactor temperature controller; the output of the reactor temperature controller is the cooling water valve opening. The simple feedback control configuration requires only one measurement device, one controller, and one control valve. The advantages of the simple feedback configuration are : The simplest possible control configuration The fewest process measurements (one) However, its performance is inferior to the cascade configurations in several respects.
Measurement Parameters
Reactor temperature - Control of reactor temperature is of utmost
importance. Sometimes more than one reactor temperature transmitter is installed. Jacket outlet temperature/cooling water return temperature The temperature - transmitter is installed on the outlet of the jacket, but within the recirculation loop. The cooling water return temperature is the same as the jacket outlet temperature. Jacket inlet temperature - The transmitter is installed at the inlet to the jacket. Being within the recirculation loop, this temperature is not the same as the cooling water supply temperature. Cooling water flow - Especially in batch reactors, this measurement can be challenging. Many batch reactors experience a large change in the heat removal rate between the early and late stages of the batch. A turndown ratio of 50 or more is often necessary.
Process
Rise in the temp suggest recirculation flow is slow.
