quick overview :

Flow Level Pressure Temperature Control Bench

• Control of water levels in loop.
• Control of water flow by winnowing.
• Control of water pressure by winnowing.
• Control of water temperature, (piloting resistive charges per static power unit).
• Control of water temperature with cascade on the flow.

Teaching Objectives of Flow Level Pressure Temperature Control Bench

• Study of the closed loop syste.
• Stability conditions.
• Response to a level instruction.
• Influence of the parameters of control and the algorithm setting (TOR, P, PI, or PID) on the results.
• Study of an open loop system.
• Study of the characteristic curves of the system.
• Study of a cascade control system
