Overview
Oil heaters are used in the petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries to control the temperature of crude and reagent inside storage tanks and keep it within a certain range. Since the temperature of each point in the tank varies, you can avoid having to control the temperature of individual points by taking the average temperature and using the result as a control input value. With conventional controllers it was necessary to install several external computing units, but with the SMARTDAC+ measuring and control station the averaging is performed with an internal computing function, and the result can be input for controlling temperature.
Process outline
- Input from multiple temperature sensors installed inside of the tank
- Calculate averaged temperature value from six varying points
- Carries out temperature control by using the average as a control input value

Oil Heater Average Value Control Process
