The GUNT Temperature Control Demonstration Unit provides a practical introduction to the fundamentals of temperature control in engineering systems. Designed for hands-on experimentation, this unit features clearly arranged components on a vertical panel with a large-format schematic for visual clarity.
Product Features
- This experimental unit provides a comprehensive experimental introduction to the fundamentals of control engineering using an example of temperature control.
- All components are clearly laid out on a vertical front panel for intuitive access.
- The large-format process schematic provides an aid to understanding system behavior.
- The system includes two water circuits: a primary and a secondary circuit.
- In the secondary circuit, fresh water is heated by a heat exchanger.
- A temperature sensor measures the fresh water outlet temperature in real time.
- The temperature is controlled by regulating the flow of warm water in the primary circuit.
- The primary circuit includes an electrically heated tank, pump, and an electromagnetic proportional valve as the actuator.
- Rotameters are integrated into both circuits for clear flow visualization.
- A state-of-the-art digital industrial controller is used for temperature regulation.
- A ball valve in the secondary circuit allows defined disturbance variables to be introduced for analysis.
- The controlled variable X and manipulating variable Y can be accessed as analogue outputs via lab jacks.
- External recording equipment such as plotters or oscilloscopes can be connected for data acquisition.
- An optional instrumentation and control software (RT 650.40) with USB interface is available for visualizing process variables and executing control functions.
Benefits
- Hands-on training in temperature regulation and control dynamics
- Realistic process simulation with dual water circuit setup
