CONDENSER AUTOMATION
MULTI-ENTRY AND SINGLE-ENTRY CONDENSER AUTOMATION SYSTEM
Condenser Automation Advantages
-
Constant Vacuum
- Ensures Proper Evaporation In Evaporators And Proper Boiling In Pans. Stable Vacuum As Per Set Point Avoids False Graining Conditions In A Pan
- Ensures Stabilized Vapour Load Thus Heating Efficiency Is Increased
- Entrainment Is Avoided Hence Sugar Losses Are Avoided
- Huge Water Saving As Water Quantity Is Optimized
- Huge Power Saving As Power Wastage In Excess Water Pumping Is Avoided
- Huge Monetary Benefits Due To Savings
Condenser Automation:
- For Separate Water Entry For Different Sets Of Spray Nozzles And Spray Jets Water Quantity Is Automatically Controlled By The On/Off Valve For The Respective Nozzle Set Valve With Vacuum And Temperature Difference Between The Vapour And Condensate Tail Pipe
- Water Pressure In The Common Injection Header Maintained By Controlling Injection Pump VFD
- Jet Compartment Controlled By Separate Valve
- Vapour And Tail Pipe Temperature Measured
- Single Entry and Multiple Entry Condensers have the same Control Philosophy but a different Control Method.
- A Single-Entry Condenser's Water Intake is Controlled by a Control Valve in a PID Loop with the Vacuum and Temperatures being the Remote Set Variables.
- In a Multiple-Entry Condenser, every Set or Compartment of Nozzles has an On/Off Type Control Valve to start or stop its water intake.
- The number of Jets and Nozzles and their Diameter is designed as per Condenser Capacity, the Control Valve is designed to suit this size and flow rate.
- Water Pressure in the Common Injection Header maintained by Controlling Injection Pump VFD
- Water Pressure in the Common Injection Header maintained by Controlling Injection Pump VFD
- Jet Compartment Controlled by Separate Valve
- Vapour and Tail Pipe Temperature Measured
Automation Philosophy:
- Vapour Vacuum and Temperature sensed
- Condensate Temperature Sensed in Tail Pipe.
- Temperature Difference Calculated.
- Vacuum and Temperature Difference are both Analyzed to derive Remote Dynamic Set Point.
-
Spray Water is controlled as below:
-
Multi-Entry System:
- Spray Jets are controlled by separate ON/OFF type Control Valves as per the Remote Dynamic Set-Point.
- 2, 3, or 4 Sets of Nozzles for Spray as per Design.
- 1 or 2 Sets of Jet Nozzles as per Design are controlled only if necessary.
-
Single-Entry System:
- Spray Jets are controlled by a Control Valve in PID Action as per the Remote Dynamic Set-Poin.
- 1 or 2 Sets of Jet Nozzles as per Design are controlled only if necessary.
-
Multi-Entry System:
