CHE 185 – PROCESS

CONTROL AND
DYNAMICS

WORKSHOP 3
 P-Only Control of Jacketed
Reactor Temperature
• OBJECTIVE
• TO DESIGN AND TEST A P-ONLY
CONTROLLER FOR TRACKING
CHANGES IN SET POINT AND
REJECTING DISTURBANCES. ALSO,
TO EXPLORE HOW CONTROLLER
GAIN IMPACTS P-ONLY
PERFORMANCE.

 P-Only temperature control
• REACTOR EXIT TEMPERATURE (THE
MEASURED PROCESS VARIABLE) OF
91°C
• PVSETPOINT =
• IN MANUAL MODE, MOVE THE
CONTROLLER OUTPUT SIGNAL UNTIL
THE MEASURED VARIABLE READS 91°C
• COBIAS =

• COMPUTE AND RECORD THE FOPDT
PROCESS MODEL PARAMETERS:

• PROCESS GAIN, Kp =

• THE ITAE (INTEGRAL TIME WEIGHTED
ABSOLUTE ERROR) DESIGN CORRELATION FOR
SET POINT TRACKING
 P-Only temperature control
• CHANGING YOUR CONTROLLER GAIN TO
SEARCH FOR A PERFORMANCE THAT
BALANCES OFFSET AGAINST OSCILLATORY
BEHAVIOR. CALL THIS YOUR "BEST“ KC:

 TYPICAL RESULTS
• THE SET POINT SHOULD BE AT THE DESIGN
LEVEL OF THE MEASURED PROCESS VARIABLE:
• PVSETPOINT = 91 oC
• A P-ONLY CONTROLLER DESIGN REQUIRES
THE CONTROLLER BIAS. :
• UBIAS = 45%
• FOPDT PROCESS MODEL PARAMETERS:
• PROCESS GAIN, KP = - 0.33 OC/%
• TIME CONST, P = 2.1 MIN
• DEAD TIME, P = 0.5 MIN
