Flow Control Trainer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : EL-MLLE-9160
Jlab Export is a leading Flow Control Trainer Manufacturer,and suppliers in India

The Flow Control Trainer is a process rig for teaching closed loop flow control and the ideas around it. Its instruments are mounted on a powder coated mild steel cubicle, and the frame stands on caster wheels so it can be moved. A training manual and mimic charts come with it. A computer interface with analysis software can be added as an option.

Flow Loop Experiments for Students

A first session usually runs the plant in open loop. Students change the signal to the final control element in steps and note how far the flow moves and how long it takes to settle. They then close the loop, enter a set point and record how the flow returns to it after a step change. Comparing the two runs shows why feedback holds the process variable where open loop cannot.

Many teachers introduce P, I and D action first on the PID Simulator, which studies P, I, P+I and P+I+D modes on a simulated closed loop. Students learning flow measurement itself can calibrate a rotameter against a measuring tank on the Rotameter Test Rig. To see how a control valve shapes flow, the class can move on to the Control Valve Characteristics Trainer, which has linear, equal percentage and quick opening valves.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does closed loop flow control mean?
The flow is measured and compared with the set point, and the controller moves the final control element to remove the difference. In open loop the output is fixed by hand, so nothing corrects a change in flow. This trainer is built to show that feedback loop.

Can the trainer be connected to a computer?
Yes, as an option. The computer interface comes with software for analysing the flow control loop, so students can log a response and study it on screen. Without the option, readings are taken from the instruments on the cubicle.

How is it different from the Flow Process Control Trainer?
The Flow Process Control Trainer is a separate model built around a digital PID indicating controller, an I to P converter, a pneumatic control valve and a rotameter. This unit is a cubicle-type trainer on caster wheels, with a training manual, mimic charts and an optional computer interface.

What is a mimic chart used for?
A mimic chart is a simple drawing of the process and its instruments, laid out in the order the signal and the fluid travel. Students follow the loop on it from sensor to controller to final control element before they run the plant.

Can it be moved between lab rooms?
Yes. The frame is fitted with caster wheels, so one trainer can be rolled to another bench or room and shared between classes.
