PROCESS CONTROL
CONTROLLING MULTIPLE HEATING ZONES
Control multiple heaters from a single multipoint control panel
Application
Companies often require multiple surface heaters to heat large objects or control
a heating process. Examples of equipment that may use multiple heating products
include industrial ovens, hoppers, tanks, mixers and pipe systems. Typically, each
heater would be controlled to an identical temperature to complete the desired
process. Some applications include industrial baking, composite curing, bulk solid
drying, dry or wet chemical mixers or reactors, condensation prevention and viscosity
control.
Similar components may be used as part of a process that requires different
temperatures at different locations throughout the process cycle. For example,
minerals may be placed in a continuous batch oven to be heated to 150°F (66°C) for
a certain period after which the minerals may be crushed into smaller pieces. These
smaller pieces may then be added to a mixer and heated to 250°F (121°C) to remove
additional moisture.
To efficiently maintain a process, technicians need to be able to monitor temperatures
at a single location and know that those temperatures are accurate. If they can’t
directly change setpoint temperatures, they lose efficiency and could potentially
damage the heated products, which could increase costs and downtime.
Solution
BriskHeat’s MPC2 Multi-Point Digital PID Temperature Controller can accurately and
simultaneously control multiple independent applications with heaters up to 60 amps
per zone for maximum versatility. The control system is fully configurable and allows
the end-user to choose number of zones, type of sensors, voltages, alarms, connection
types, communications, and protections. Each controller can be individually programs
to operate in PID or On/Off modes, and are capable of running ramp/soak programs
of up to 12 steps. Features and benefits include easy-to-read actual and set-point
displays in °C or °F, password protection and three latching alarm options for added
security and safety. Controllers have storage for up to 4 programs for easy repeatability,
a large temperature range up to 999 °C or °F, and accuracy of 0.2% for improved
performance. They can also be used indoors or outdoors. Additionally, these controllers
are cULus and CE compliant.
The MPC2 temperature controller can be used with a wide variety of heaters including
heating blankets, heating tapes, drum heaters, customer cloth jackets, cartridge and
nozzle heaters, aluminum foil heaters and more.
BriskHeat’s
Temperature Control System is an alternative solution for control
of multiple heating zones. Each Operator Interface can control up to 8 strings of 128
controllers for a maximum of 1,024 zones of heat.
