Process Control Trainer

37-100

A heating element controlled by a thyristor circuit feeds heat into the airstream circulated by an axial fan along a polypropylene tube. A thermistor detector, which may be placed at one of three points along the tube length, senses the temperature at that point.

The volume of air flow is controlled by varying the speed of the fan via a potentiometer. A change in setting represents a supply side disturbance and the effects are easily demonstrated.
