CE 600 Continuous Rectification Didactic Equipment Vocational Training Equipment Process Control Trainer
Continuous and discontinuous rectification with packed, sieve tray and bubble cap tray column, system control via PLC Features - comparison of packed, sieve tray and bubble cap tray column - vacuum mode possible by diaphragm pump - plant control using an integrated PLC - integrated router for operation and control via an end device and for screen mirroring on additional end devices: PC, tablet, smartphone Learning objectives/experiments - investigation and comparison of sieve tray, bubble cap tray and packed columns -- in continuous mode -- in discontinuous mode -- in vacuum mode -- with different inlet heights for the feed flow -- with different numbers of trays (sieve tray and bubble cap tray column) - practice-oriented temperature control in the column -- reflux ratio as actuator for the top of the column -- heating power as actuator for the column bottom - determination of temperature profiles - pressure loss over the column - energy efficiency increase due to feed preheating - screen mirroring: mirroring of the user interface on end devices -- menu navigation independent of the user interface shown on the touch screen -- different user levels available on the end device: for observing the experiments or for operation and control Specification [1] continuous and discontinuous rectification [2] plant control with PLC via touch screen [3] integrated router for operation and control via an end device and for screen mirroring: mirroring of the user interface on up to 5 end devices [4] packed, sieve tray and bubble cap tray column, interchangeable [5] sieve tray and bubble cap tray column with 8 trays [6] packed column with Raschig rings [7] 3 feed inlets and 8 temperature sensors per column [8] electrically heated evaporator [9] condenser and phase separation tank for top product [10] adjustment of reflux ratio using valves [11] heat exchanger for feed preheating by bottom product or bottom product cooling by cooling water [12] water-saving due to closed cooling water circuit with water/air cooler [13] vacuum mode possible with diaphragm pump [14] areometer for determining the composition of feed/products included [15] data acquisition via PLC on internal memory, access to stored measured values via WLAN with integrated router/ LAN connection to customer's own network [16] software for data acquisition via LAN under Windows 10 [17] tanks for feed, bottom and top product [18] all tanks made of DURAN glass and stainless steel [19] trays in sieve tray column and bubble cap tray column removable
