PROCESS TRAINER

TecQuipment?s Process Trainer is an educational package that
mimics industrial process engineering. The fully integrated, selfcontained
teaching apparatus gives a comprehensive range of
process control experiments, from basic to advanced.
Using water as the working fluid, the equipment allows safe,
practical experiments on control of flow, liquid level, temperature
and pressure. Students can study each of these separately or in
combinations.
The equipment consists of an experiment module, a control
module and TecQuipment?s CE2000 software.
The experiment module includes all the essential parts to allow
students to create process control systems. The main part is the
process vessel, with a stirrer, a temperature sensor, level and
pressure sensors, a heat exchanger and vent valve. It also includes
two loops, linked by the heat exchanger in the process vessel. One
loop is the heating loop with pump, heater tank and heater. The
other loop is a process and cooling loop with pump, cooler, fan,
valves and reservoir.
The control module links to the experiment module to provide
access to the connections of each part on the experiment module.
It includes a clear mimic diagram with switches and controls to
allow manual control of pump speed, cooler-fan speed, heater
power and stirrer. It also includes sockets and a built-in computer
interface. This allows the user to link each part of the experiment
module to a suitable computer (not included) for remote control
and data acquisition.
Alternatively, the user can connect a suitable external controller,
such as TecQuipment?s CE120.
Supplied with the equipment is TecQuipment?s Control Software
(CE2000, see separate datasheet) for supervisory control of the
CE117 and data acquisition. You need a suitable computer to use
the CE2000 software.
You may also connect the Process Trainer to TecQuipment?s
Controller (CE120) or other suitable controller, for direct control
(without a computer).
