Construction & System Design
The Process Plant Trainer is designed as a compact, bench-mounted pilot plant system integrating process vessels, heating and cooling units, instrumentation, and a centralized electrical console.
The plate heat exchanger with holding tube enables realistic heat transfer studies. Peristaltic pumps provide controlled feed and heating fluid circulation. The heating element is coil-type with controlled power input, enabling temperature regulation experiments.
Instrumentation includes four K-type thermocouples, turbine flow sensor, conductivity sensor, and level measurement devices. Solenoid valves and digital I/O facilitate automated control and sequencing experiments.
All signals are routed through a control console providing electrical interfacing and signal conditioning. A built-in display shows sensor outputs, and signals are available for external monitoring and PC-based control. The system supports advanced DAQ software integration for data logging, monitoring, and closed-loop control implementation.
The trainer is engineered for repeated academic use, ensuring durability, operational safety, and clear demonstration of industrial control principles.
