Allowing readers to develop professional competencies, this text is aimed at engineers and technicians who need a practical understanding of the essentials of process control, loop tuning and how to ...
to achieve a higher-level control objective. At the same time, the flow controller is a true mitigator of unmeasured disturbances. It is typically characterized as a high-frequency loop, meaning that ...
For example, if a pressure-reducing control loop is closely followed in the process by a flow control loop, the two control loops can appear to be fighting each other, causing both loops to oscillate.
The previous sections of this chapter have dealt with the tuning of controllers for self-regulating processes such as temperature and flow. Liquid-level control, however, has characteristics ...
