Lab 7 CE Flow Control and Hysteresis

This lab report investigates the on-off control of flow and the effect of hysteresis on a flow control system. The experiment demonstrates that increasing voltage at set point-01 leads to a corresponding increase in flow rate, while higher hysteresis results in longer delay times and more pronounced differences in flow rates. Safety precautions are emphasized to ensure safe handling of equipment and emergency protocols.

Objectives:
 Getting familiar with the working of on off controller.
 To know the concept of DMM
 Familiarity with apparatus

Equipment used:
 Flow control module
 DMM
 Wires

Circuit diagram:
Procedure:
• First, establish the necessary connections.
• Complete the circuit for the flow sensor and water pump driver.
• Provide two inputs to the ON-OFF controller: one from the flow sensor output and the other from
the set point-01 voltage.
• Link set point-02 to the input of the water pump driver.
• Connect the output of the ON-OFF controller to the motorized valve driver.
• Activate the flow control module.
• Take measurements for three water flow values, each corresponding to three different voltages and
three distinct hysteresis settings.
• To do this, set the voltage using set point-01 and observe it on the Digital Multimeter (DMM).
Additionally, set the hysteresis using the control on the ON-OFF controller.
• Record the flow rate indicated by the rotameter.
Observations and calculations:
Hysteresis Set point (V) Flow (LPM) Voltage (V)
2 2.75-2.5 2
0% 4 3.75-3.5 4
6 5.5-5 6
2 2.5-1.9 2
10% 4 4.25-2.75 4
6 5.5-4.75 6
2 3.25-1.25 2
20% 4 5-2.75 4
6 6-4.5 6

Discussions:
As the voltage is raised from set-point 01, the flow rate increases accordingly. The Digital Multimeter (DMM)
is employed to gauge the voltage at set-point 01. As the hysteresis increases, so does the delay time. When there
is zero hysteresis, the contrast between the upper and lower flow rate values is minimal. However, this
distinction becomes more pronounced with an increase in hysteresis. Notably, at 20% hysteresis, the difference
is clearly noticeable when compared to other hysteresis values.

Conclusion:
With an increase in voltage at set point-1 causes a corresponding change in flow rate. Furthermore, the
motorized valve on-off time rises as hysteresis increases. It lengthens the delay time, to put it briefly.

Safety precautions:
1. Prior to utilizing any equipment, inspect it for potential issues. Inform someone if you discover any
problems and handle all laboratory tools and equipment with care.

2. When dealing with circuits or machinery, disconnect them from power sources. Adhere to safety
guidelines for electricity to prevent shocks or other electrical hazards.

3. Acquaint yourself with emergency protocols for fires, electrical shocks, chemical spills, and
personal injuries.

4. Avoid spilling water.
