Automation of heat and gas supply and ventilation processes


1. Microclimate systems as automation objects

Maintaining the specified microclimate parameters in buildings and structures is ensured by a complex of engineering systems for heat and gas supply and microclimate conditioning. This complex produces thermal energy, transports hot water, steam and gas through heat and gas networks to buildings and the use of these energy carriers for industrial and economic needs, as well as to maintain the specified microclimate parameters in them.

The system of heat and gas supply and microclimate conditioning includes external systems of centralized heat supply and gas supply, as well as internal (located inside the building) engineering systems for providing microclimate, household and production needs.

The district heating system includes heat generators (CHP, boiler houses) and heating networks through which heat is supplied to consumers (heating, ventilation, air conditioning and hot water supply systems).

The centralized gas supply system includes gas networks of high, medium and low pressure, gas distribution stations (GDS), gas control points (GRP) and installations (GRU). It is designed to supply gas to heat generating installations, as well as residential, public and industrial buildings.

The microclimate conditioning system (MCS) is a set of tools that serve to maintain the specified microclimate parameters in the premises of buildings. SCM includes heating systems (SV), ventilation (SV), air conditioning (SV).

The mode of heat and gas supply is different for different consumers. So the heat consumption for heating depends mainly on the parameters of the outdoor climate, and the heat consumption for hot water supply is determined by the water consumption, which varies during the day and on the days of the week. Heat consumption for ventilation and air conditioning depends both on the mode of operation of consumers and on the parameters of the outside air. Gas consumption varies by month of the year, day of the week and hour of the day.

Reliable and economical supply of heat and gas to various categories of consumers is achieved by using several stages of control and regulation. Centralized control of heat supply is carried out at the CHPP or in the boiler house. However, it cannot provide the necessary hydraulic and thermal conditions for numerous heat consumers. Therefore, intermediate steps are used to maintain the temperature and pressure of the coolant at central heating points (CHP).

The operation of gas supply systems is controlled by maintaining a constant pressure in certain parts of the network, regardless of gas consumption. The required pressure in the network is provided by gas reduction in the GDS, GRP, GRU. In addition, the gas distribution station and hydraulic fracturing have devices to turn off the gas supply in case of an unacceptable increase or decrease in pressure in the network.

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems carry out regulatory actions on the microclimate in order to bring its internal parameters in line with the normalized values. Maintaining the temperature of the internal air within the specified limits for heating period is provided by the heating system and is achieved by changing the amount of heat transferred to the room by heating devices. Ventilation systems are designed to maintain acceptable values ​​of microclimate parameters in the room based on comfortable or technological requirements for indoor air parameters. Regulation of the operation of ventilation systems is carried out by changing the flow rates of supply and exhaust air. Air conditioning systems ensure the maintenance of optimal microclimate parameters in the room based on comfort or technological requirements.

Hot water supply systems (DHW) provide consumers with hot water for household and economic needs. The task of DHW control is to maintain a given water temperature at the consumer with its variable consumption.

2. Link of the automated system

Any automatic control and regulation system consists of separate elements that perform independent functions. Thus, the elements of an automated system can be subdivided according to their functional purpose.

Each element transforms some physical quantities characterizing the course of the regulation process. The smallest number of such values ​​for an element is two. One of these quantities is the input and the other is the output. The transformation of one quantity into another that occurs in most elements has only one direction. For example, in a centrifugal governor, changing the shaft speed will move the clutch, but moving the clutch by an external force will not change the shaft speed. Such elements of the system, which have one degree of freedom, are called elementary dynamic links.

The control object can be considered as one of the links. A diagram that reflects the composition of the links and the nature of the connection between them is called a structural diagram.

The relationship between the output and input values ​​of an elementary dynamic link under conditions of its equilibrium is called a static characteristic. Dynamic (in time) transformation of values ​​in the link is determined by the corresponding equation (usually differential), as well as by the totality of the dynamic characteristics of the link.

The links that are part of a particular system of automatic control and regulation may have different principle actions, miscellaneous design etc. The classification of links is based on the nature of the dependence between the input and output values ​​in the transient process, which is determined by the order of the differential equation that describes the dynamic transformation of the signal in the link. With such a classification, the entire constructive variety of links is reduced to a small number of their main types. Consider the main types of links.

The amplifying (inertialess, ideal, proportional, capacitive) link is characterized by instantaneous signal transmission from input to output. In this case, the output value does not change in time, and the dynamic equation coincides with the static characteristic and has the form

Here x, y are the input and output values, respectively; k is the transmission coefficient.

Examples of amplifying links are a lever, a mechanical transmission, a potentiometer, a transformer.

The lagging link is characterized by the fact that the output value repeats the input value, but with a delay Lm.

y(t) = x(t - Xt).

Here t is the current time.

An example of a lagging link is a transport device or pipeline.

Aperiodic (inertial, static, capacitive, relaxation) link converts the input value in accordance with the equation

Here G is a constant coefficient characterizing the inertia of the link.

Examples: room, air heater, gas holder, thermocouple, etc.

An oscillatory (two-capacitive) link converts the input signal into a signal of an oscillatory form. The dynamic equation of the oscillatory link has the form:

Here Ti, Tr are constant coefficients.

Examples: float differential pressure gauge, diaphragm pneumatic valve, etc.

The integrating (astatic, neutral) link converts the input signal in accordance with the equation

An example of an integrating link is an electrical circuit with inductance or capacitance.

The differentiating (pulse) link generates at the output a signal proportional to the rate of change of the input value. The dynamic equation of the link has the form:

Examples: tachometer, damper in mechanical transmissions. The generalized equation of any link, control object or automated system as a whole can be represented as:

where a, b are constant coefficients.

3. Transient processes in systems automatic regulation. Dynamic characteristics of links

The process of transition of a system or object of regulation from one equilibrium state to another is called a transition process. The transient process is described by a function that can be obtained as a result of solving the dynamic equation. The nature and duration of the transition process are determined by the structure of the system, dynamic characteristics its links, a kind of perturbing influence.

External perturbations can be different, but when analyzing a system or its elements, they are limited to typical forms of influences: a single step (jump-like) change in time of the input value or its periodic change according to the harmonic law.

The dynamic characteristics of a link or system determine their response to such typical forms of impacts. These include transient, amplitude-frequency, phase-frequency, amplitude-phase characteristics. They characterize the dynamic properties of a link or an automated system as a whole.

The transient response is the response of a link or system to a single step action. Frequency characteristics reflect the response of a link or system to harmonic fluctuations in the input value. The amplitude-frequency characteristic (AFC) is the dependence of the ratio of the amplitudes of the output and input signals on the oscillation frequency. The dependence of the phase shift of the oscillations of the output and input signals on the frequency is called the phase-frequency characteristics (PFC). Combining both of the mentioned characteristics on one graph, we get a complex frequency response, which is also called the amplitude-phase response (APC).

The transient response is determined by solving the corresponding dynamic equation or experimentally, the frequency response can also be found from experience or obtained by analyzing the dynamic equation using operational calculus methods.

Integral Laplace transform

To simplify and make more visual the analysis of the dynamic equation of a link or an automated system as a whole, the operational method is widely used in the theory of automatic control. This method, based on the integral Laplace transform, consists in the fact that not the function itself (original) is studied, but some modification of it (image).

The Laplace transform, which determines the relationship between the original ff(t) and the image Ffs), has the form:

where s is some complex value (s= i- imaginary unit.

The essence of the operational method is that the original differential equation containing the original f(t) is reduced using the Laplace transform to an algebraic equation with respect to the image F(s), and the value s is considered as a certain number. The resulting algebraic equation is resolved with respect to the function F(s), and then the reverse transition is made from the image F(s) to the original f(t), which is the desired one.

Transition procedure from original to image ( direct conversion Laplace) is represented by the symbol £[Am)|, and the procedure for transition from the image to the original (the inverse Laplace transform) is represented by the symbol L-"\F(s)].

From expression (2.1), the main properties of the Laplace transform can be revealed.

2. The image of the product of a function by a constant coefficient is equal to the product of this coefficient by the image of the function

1. The image of the sum of several functions is equal to the sum of the images of these functions

3. The image of the constant is determined by the expression

6. The image of the function integral is determined by the dependence



If at the initial moment of time (τ > 0) the function /(τ) and its derivatives up to order n-1 inclusive take on zero values, then expression (2.8) will take the form:

For the convenience of the practical use of the operational method in engineering problems, on the basis of expression (2.1), ready-made relations for images of various functions are obtained. Images of some of the most commonly used functions are shown in Table. 2.1.

Table 2.1

Pictures of some features

The considered properties of the Laplace transform and the available formulas for the connection of originals and images allow you to quickly find the original from the image of the function or vice versa.

Analysis of the differential equation of the link dynamics by the operational method. Transmission function

Applying the Laplace integral transform to the differential equation (1.7) under zero initial conditions (when the desired function and all its derivatives vanish at r = 0), we obtain

Here F(s), X($) are images of the functions y and jc, respectively. Equation (2.11) can be represented as

Here the complexes A(s), B(s), fV(s) are defined by the expressions

Thus, the dynamic equation in images has a form similar to in (boome with the static characteristic of the link (1.1)

The function W(s) included in expressions (2.12), (2.16) is the ratio of the output signal image to the input signal image and is called the transfer function.

The transfer function fV(s) in the dynamic equation is analogous to the transfer coefficient k in the static characteristic.

The transfer functions of typical links and some objects of regulation are given in Table. 2.2.

The transfer function of the system of links depends on the way they are combined.

The transfer function of series-connected links is equal to the product of the transfer functions of these links

Here i is the link number; i is the number of links.

Transfer functions of typical links and some objects of regulation

The transfer function of parallel connected links is equal to the algebraic sum of the transfer functions of these links

The transfer function of the feedback circuit is given by


where fV\(s) is the transfer function of the forward circuit; fV^s) - transfer function feedback; the "+" sign corresponds to negative feedback, and the sign of positive feedback.

Solution of the dynamic equation. Transient response calculation

From expression (2.16), taking into account (2.13) - (2.15), it follows that by applying the integral Laplace transform to a linear differential dynamic equation under zero initial conditions, one can obtain the dependence for the image of the desired function in the form

where P(s), Q(s) are some polynomials with respect to the variable s.

Applying the inverse Laplace transform to the function Y(s), we obtain the solution of the original dynamic equation

where si is the 1st root of the polynomial Q(s); q is the number of roots; Q\s) is the derivative of the function Q(s) with respect to the variable s.

Taking into account (2.22), the solution of the dynamic equation takes the form

where S is some numerical coefficient.


Solution (2.23) can be used, in particular, to calculate the transient response. For this, it is necessary to describe the approximate analytical function a single step change of the input value and using this function to form polynomials P(s) and Q(s). For an approximate description of a single step change in the input value, the function can be used

Thus, if the expression for the transfer function is known, then using dependence (2.25) it is easy to form polynomials P(s) and Q(s). For example, for an aperiodic link, the transfer function of which, in accordance with Table. 2.2 is determined by the relation

polynomials P(s) and Q(s) have the form

Polynomial of the third degree (2.28) has 3 roots: s/=0; S2=-S; s 3 =-

The derivative Q"(s) of the function Q(s) has the form

and its values, substituted into expression (2.23), are determined by the relations

Taking into account (2.27), (2.30), expression (2.23) for calculating the transient response will take the form

Similarly, the solution of the dynamic equation is obtained with an arbitrary change in the input value. In this case, instead of function (2.24), another function is chosen that describes the change in the input value.

frequency characteristics

If the transfer function of a link, object or system is known, then their frequency characteristics can be found by replacing the variable s in this function with the product w, where i is the imaginary unit, » is the circular frequency. The function of the complex variable fV(ico) obtained as a result of such a replacement can be represented in trigonometric or exponential forms

Here A(co) is the ratio of the amplitudes of the output and input signals; cp^co) - phase shift between the output and input signals.

The dependence of the relative amplitude A(co) on the frequency co is the amplitude-frequency characteristic (AFC), and the dependence of the phase shift cp(co) on the frequency co is the phase-frequency characteristic (PFC).

On the complex plane, the function W(ico) can be represented as the geometric sum of the real R(co) and imaginary I(co) parts.

Dependence (2.34) determines the complex frequency response, which is called the amplitude-phase characteristic (AFC).

Between the functions A(a>), (p^co), R(a>), 1(a>) there is a one-to-one relationship

Obtaining the frequency response, phase response, AFC, consider the example of an oscillatory link with a transfer function determined by the relation

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of expression (2.38) by the value (l-T^aP-iTito), we get rid of irrationality in the denominator

From the condition of identity of expressions (2.34), (2.39) we obtain relations for the quantities R(a>) and 1(a>)

Further analysis is performed using expressions (2.34) -(2.36).

Graphs of transient processes and amplitude-phase characteristics of typical links

Examples of graphs of transients and amplitude-phase characteristics for various links are given in Table. 2.3.

Dynamic equation of a heated room

The dynamic equation reflects the dependence of the indoor air temperature on the regulatory and control actions, as well as on time.

Considering the room as an object with lumped parameters and assuming the temperature of the internal air to be constant in its volume, we obtain the equation for the heat balance of the air in the room in the form:

where p is the air density in the room; c p is the specific isobaric heat capacity of air; U - internal air temperature; V is the volume of the room; g - time; Q c - heat flow transferred to the room by the heating system; Q„ om - heat flow due to heat losses through the building envelope.

The heat flux Q c for instrumental heating systems is determined by the relation

and for systems air heating, ventilation and air conditioning

Here, the heat transfer coefficient and the heating area of ​​the heating

body appliances, respectively; to is the average coolant temperature; G - mass air flow in the air heating, ventilation or air conditioning system; t np - supply air temperature.

The heat flux Opot is expressed by the dependence

where k, F - heat transfer coefficient and area of ​​enclosing structures, respectively; U- outdoor air temperature.

The regulation of the temperature of the internal air and when using instrumental heating systems can be carried out by changing the temperature of the coolant and or its flow rate, on which the heat transfer coefficient kp depends. In air heating systems, regulation is carried out by changing the supply air temperature t np or its flow rate G.

Depending on the heating system and the method of regulation, the form of the dynamic equation also changes. So for the air-

heating when controlling the temperature t e by changing the supply air flow or its temperature t„ P, the dynamic equation of the heated room takes the form

For instrument heating systems, when controlling the temperature te by changing the temperature of the coolant and the dynamic equation of the heated room has the form

More complex view has a dynamic equation when using instrument heating systems with temperature control and by changing the flow rate of the coolant. To obtain it, it is necessary to know the relationship between this flow rate and the heat transfer coefficient kn. The influence of the coolant flow rate on the heat transfer coefficient depends on the type of coolant (water or steam), design and material heating appliances, the thickness of their walls, the intensity of heat transfer to the surrounding air.

Dynamic equation of a ventilated room

The dynamic equation characterizes the change in concentration harmful substances indoors in time, depending on the characteristics of air exchange.

Let at the initial moment of time the concentration of harmful substances in the room be equal to c. At this point in time, the source of emission of harmful substances with the intensity of Measures begins to operate in the room and the general ventilation system is turned on. We will consider the volumetric performance of the supply and exhaust ventilation systems to be the same and equal to L. We will assume that harmful substances are distributed evenly over the volume of the room, and their concentration at all its points is the same and equal to c. Let us designate the concentration of harmful substances in the supply air as cn and, taking into account the assumptions made, we will draw up an equation for their balance in the room

From equation (3.7) we obtain the dynamic equation of a ventilated room

Here, the controlled parameter is the concentration c, and the regulation itself is carried out by changing the performance ventilation system L.

Dynamic equation of mixing heat exchanger

The scheme of the mixing heat exchanger together with the scheme of automatic control of the heat carrier temperature is shown in fig. 3.1. *


Cold water with a mass flow rate G\ and dry saturated steam with a mass flow rate Gi are supplied to the inlet of the mixing heat exchanger. At the outlet of the heat exchanger, a mixture of heated water and condensate is obtained. The automatic control system maintains the temperature of the mixture at a given level. The sensor 2 perceives the change in the temperature of the mixture at the outlet of the heat exchanger and acts on the bellows 3. The bellows 3 moves the jet pipe 5 through the lever transmission 4, which controls the hydraulic servomotor 6. The servomotor 6 moves the valve shutter 7, regulating the steam flow Gi.

Let us obtain a dynamic equation for the mixing heat exchanger, which characterizes the change in the temperature of the mixture over time. To do this, we compose the heat balance equation

Here G CM is the flow rate of the mixture at the outlet of the heat exchanger; from - specific heat water; M is the mass of liquid in the heat exchanger; g - hidden

th heat of vaporization; t is the temperature of the mixture; and - the temperature of the cold water at the inlet to the heat exchanger.

Assuming that the controlled parameter is the temperature of the mixture t, and the regulation is carried out by changing the steam flow rate Gi, from equation (3.9) we obtain the dynamic equation

Similarly, the dynamic equation of the entire automatic temperature control system in the mixing heat exchanger can be obtained. In such an equation, the controlled parameter is also the temperature of the mixture t, but the input parameter will not be the steam flow Gi, but the movement h of the valve shutter.

Dynamic Equation of Automatic Gas Pressure Regulator

The diagram of the automatic pressure regulator is shown in fig. 3.2. The regulator maintains the set pressure Pa in the gas tank or any other object.

When the pressure in the gas holder is equal to the specified /> 0, the pressure force F on the membrane 1 is balanced by the opposition of the spring 2, while the valve stem remains stationary. If the pressure rises for some reason, the valve stem will drop, the valve will open, releasing excess gas into the line, and the pressure p 0 will be restored.

If the regulator is installed on an object with a different pressure p "or in the same gas tank it is required to change the setting to another pressure p 0" (or p 0 "), then the regulator is adjusted to a different pressure by the clamping nut 3. When setting to a higher pressure, the clamping nut is moved up. In this case, the diaphragm, under the influence of additional spring force, will also move up and the valve will close. Reducing the capacity of the valve will increase the pressure. When setting to a lower pressure, the clamping nut is moved down. In this case, set new mode with less pressure.

Let us obtain the dynamic equation of the regulator, which characterizes the change in the time of movement at the valve stem, depending on the change in pressure p. To do this, consider the equilibrium condition for the moving parts of the controller

Here F n is the elastic force of the spring; F u - inertia force of moving parts; F m - the force of friction of moving parts on fixed ones.

7.1 General characteristics of control systems. Sensors and transducers

Automatic control is based on continuous and precise measurement input and output technological parameters of the enrichment process.

It is necessary to distinguish between the main output parameters of the process (or a specific machine) that characterize the ultimate goal of the process, for example, qualitative and quantitative indicators of processed products, and intermediate (indirect) technological parameters that determine the conditions for the process, the operating modes of the equipment. For example, for a coal cleaning process in a jigging machine, the main output parameters may be the yield and ash content of the products produced. At the same time, these indicators are affected by a number of intermediate factors, for example, the height and looseness of the bed in the jigging machine.

In addition, there are a number of parameters characterizing the technical condition of technological equipment. For example, the temperature of bearings of technological mechanisms; parameters of centralized liquid lubrication of bearings; condition of transshipment units and elements of flow-transport systems; the presence of material on the conveyor belt; the presence of metal objects on the conveyor belt, the levels of material and pulp in the tanks; duration of work and downtime of technological mechanisms, etc.

Of particular difficulty is the automatic on-line control of technological parameters that determine the characteristics of raw materials and enrichment products, such as ash content, material composition of ore, the degree of opening of mineral grains, the granulometric and fractional composition of materials, the degree of oxidation of the grain surface, etc. These indicators are either controlled with insufficient accuracy or are not controlled at all.

A large number of physical and chemical quantities that determine the modes of processing of raw materials are controlled with sufficient accuracy. These include the density and ionic composition of the pulp, volumetric and mass flow rates of process streams, reagents, fuel, air; levels of products in machines and apparatuses, ambient temperature, pressure and vacuum in apparatuses, humidity of products, etc.

Thus, the variety of technological parameters, their importance in the management of enrichment processes require the development of reliable control systems, where the on-line measurement of physical and chemical quantities is based on a variety of principles.

It should be noted that the reliability of the parameters control systems mainly determines the performance of automatic process control systems.

Automatic control systems serve as the main source of information in production management, including automated control systems and process control systems.

Sensors and transducers

The main element of automatic control systems, which determines the reliability and performance of the entire system, is a sensor that is in direct contact with the controlled environment.

A sensor is an element of automation that converts a controlled parameter into a signal suitable for entering it into a monitoring or control system.

A typical automatic control system generally includes a primary measuring transducer (sensor), a secondary transducer, an information (signal) transmission line, and a recording device (Fig. 7.1). Often, the control system has only a sensitive element, a transducer, an information transmission line and a secondary (recording) device.

The sensor, as a rule, contains a sensitive element that perceives the value of the measured parameter, and in some cases converts it into a signal convenient for remote transmission to the recording device, and, if necessary, to the control system.

An example of a sensing element would be the membrane of a differential pressure gauge that measures the pressure difference across an object. The movement of the membrane, caused by the force from the pressure difference, is converted by an additional element (converter) into an electrical signal that is easily transmitted to the recorder.

Another example of a sensor is a thermocouple, where the functions of a sensitive element and a transducer are combined, since an electrical signal proportional to the measured temperature appears at the cold ends of the thermocouple.

More details about the sensors of specific parameters will be described below.

Converters are classified into homogeneous and heterogeneous. The former have input and output values ​​that are identical in physical nature. For example, amplifiers, transformers, rectifiers - convert electrical quantities into electrical quantities with other parameters.

Among the heterogeneous, the largest group is made up of converters of non-electric quantities into electrical ones (thermocouples, thermistors, strain gauges, piezoelectric elements, etc.).

According to the type of output value, these converters are divided into two groups: generator ones, which have an active electrical value at the output - EMF, and parametric ones - with a passive output value in the form of R, L or C.

Displacement transducers. The most widely used are parametric transducers of mechanical displacement. These include R (resistor), L (inductive), and C (capacitive) transducers. These elements change the output value in proportion to the input displacement: electrical resistance R, inductance L and capacitance C (Fig. 7.2).

The inductive transducer can be made in the form of a coil with a tap from the midpoint and a plunger (core) moving inside.

The converters in question are usually connected to control systems using bridge circuits. A displacement transducer is connected to one of the arms of the bridge (Fig. 7.3 a). Then the output voltage (U out), taken from the tops bridge A-B, will change when moving the working element of the transducer and can be evaluated by the expression:

The supply voltage of the bridge (U pit) can be direct (at Z i =R i) or alternating (at Z i =1/(Cω) or Z i =Lω) current with frequency ω.

Thermistors, strain- and photoresistors can be connected to the bridge circuit with R elements, i.e. converters whose output signal is a change in active resistance R.

The widely used inductive converter is usually connected to an AC bridge circuit formed by a transformer (Fig. 7.3 b). The output voltage in this case is allocated to the resistor R, included in the diagonal of the bridge.

A special group is made up of widely used induction converters - differential transformer and ferro-dynamic (Fig. 7.4). These are generator converters.

The output signal (U out) of these converters is formed as an AC voltage, which eliminates the need for bridge circuits and additional converters.

The differential principle of generating an output signal in a transformer converter (Fig. 6.4 a) is based on the use of two secondary windings connected towards each other. Here, the output signal is the vector voltage difference that occurs in the secondary windings when the supply voltage U pit is applied, while the output voltage carries two information: the absolute value of the voltage is about the magnitude of the plunger movement, and the phase is the direction of its movement:

Ū out = Ū 1 – Ū 2 = kX in,

where k is the coefficient of proportionality;

X in - input signal (plunger movement).

The differential principle of generating the output signal doubles the sensitivity of the converter, since when the plunger moves, for example, upwards, the voltage in the upper winding (Ū 1) increases due to the increase in the transformation ratio, the voltage in the lower winding decreases by the same amount (Ū 2) .

Differential transformer converters are widely used in control and regulation systems due to their reliability and simplicity. They are placed in primary and secondary instruments for measuring pressure, flow, levels, etc.

More complex is the ferrodynamic transducers (PF) of angular displacements (Fig. 7.4 b and 7.5).

Here, in air gap magnetic circuit (1) is placed cylindrical core (2) with a winding in the form of a frame. The core is installed using cores and can be rotated on small angleα in within ± 20 o. An alternating voltage of 12 - 60 V is applied to the excitation winding of the converter (w 1), as a result of which a magnetic flux arises that crosses the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe frame (5). A current is induced in its winding, the voltage of which (Ū out), ceteris paribus, is proportional to the angle of rotation of the frame (α in), and the phase of the voltage changes when the frame is rotated in one direction or another from the neutral position (parallel to the magnetic flux).

The static characteristics of the PF converters are shown in fig. 7.6.

Characteristic 1 has a converter without bias winding (W cm). If the zero value of the output signal is to be obtained not on average, but in one of the extreme positions of the frame, the bias winding should be switched on in series with the frame.

In this case, the output signal is the sum of the voltages taken from the frame and the bias winding, which corresponds to a characteristic of 2 or 2 "if you change the connection of the bias winding to antiphase.

An important property of a ferrodynamic transducer is the ability to change the steepness of the characteristic. This is achieved by changing the value of the air gap (δ) between the fixed (3) and movable (4) plungers of the magnetic core, screwing or unscrewing the latter.

The considered properties of PF converters are used in the construction of relatively complex control systems with the implementation of the simplest computational operations.

General industrial sensors of physical quantities.

The efficiency of enrichment processes largely depends on the technological regimes, which in turn are determined by the values ​​of the parameters that affect these processes. The variety of enrichment processes causes a large number of technological parameters that require their control. To control some physical quantities, it is sufficient to have a standard sensor with a secondary device (for example, a thermocouple - an automatic potentiometer), for others, additional devices and converters are required (density meters, flow meters, ash meters, etc.).

Among a large number of industrial sensors, one can single out sensors that are widely used in various industries as independent sources of information and as components of more complex sensors.

In this subsection, we consider the simplest general industrial sensors of physical quantities.

Temperature sensors. The control of thermal modes of operation of boilers, dryers, and some friction units of machines allows obtaining important information necessary to control the operation of these objects.

Manometric thermometers. This device includes a sensitive element (thermal bulb) and an indicating device connected by a capillary tube and filled with a working substance. The principle of operation is based on the change in the pressure of the working substance in a closed thermometer system depending on the temperature.

Depending on the state of aggregation of the working substance, liquid (mercury, xylene, alcohols), gas (nitrogen, helium) and steam (saturated steam of a low-boiling liquid) manometric thermometers are distinguished.

The pressure of the working substance is fixed by a manometric element - a tubular spring, which unwinds with increasing pressure in a closed system.

Depending on the type of working substance of the thermometer, the temperature measurement limits range from -50 ° to +1300 ° C. The devices can be equipped with signal contacts, a recording device.

Thermistors (thermoresistors). The principle of operation is based on the property of metals or semiconductors ( thermistors) change its electrical resistance with temperature. This dependence for thermistors has the form:

where R 0 conductor resistance at T 0 \u003d 293 0 K;

α T - temperature coefficient of resistance

Sensitive metal elements are made in the form of wire coils or spirals, mainly from two metals - copper (for low temperatures - up to 180 ° C) and platinum (from -250 ° to 1300 ° C), placed in a metal protective casing.

To register the controlled temperature, the thermistor, as a primary sensor, is connected to an automatic AC bridge (secondary device), this issue will be discussed below.

In dynamic terms, thermistors can be represented as a first-order aperiodic link with a transfer function W(p)=k/(Tp+1), if the time constant of the sensor ( T) is much less than the time constant of the object of regulation (control), it is permissible to accept this element as a proportional link.

Thermocouples. Thermoelectric thermometers (thermocouples) are usually used to measure temperatures in large ranges and above 1000 ° C.

The principle of operation of thermocouples is based on the effect of the occurrence of EMF direct current at the free (cold) ends of two dissimilar soldered conductors (hot junction), provided that the temperature of the cold ends differs from the temperature of the junction. The value of the EMF is proportional to the difference between these temperatures, and the value and range of measured temperatures depends on the material of the electrodes. Electrodes with porcelain beads strung on them are placed in protective fittings.

Thermocouples are connected to the recording device using special thermoelectrode wires. A millivoltmeter with a certain calibration or an automatic DC bridge (potentiometer) can be used as a recording device.

When calculating control systems, thermocouples can be represented, like thermistors, as a first-order aperiodic link or proportional.

The industry produces various types of thermocouples (Table 7.1).

Table 7.1 Characteristics of thermocouples

Pressure Sensors. Pressure (vacuum) and differential pressure sensors received the widest application in the mining and processing industry, both as general industrial sensors and as components of more complex systems for monitoring such parameters as pulp density, media consumption, liquid media level, suspension viscosity, etc.

Devices for measuring excess pressure are called manometers or pressure gauges, for measuring vacuum pressure (below atmospheric, vacuum) - with vacuum gauges or draft gauges, for simultaneous measurement of excess and vacuum pressure - with pressure and vacuum gauges or thrust gauges.

The most widespread are spring-type sensors (deformation) with elastic sensitive elements in the form of a manometric spring (Fig. 7.7 a), a flexible membrane (Fig. 7.7 b) and a flexible bellows.

.

To transfer readings to the recording device, the pressure gauges can be equipped with a displacement transducer. The figure shows inductive-transformer transducers (2), the plungers of which are connected to the sensitive elements (1 and 2).

Devices for measuring the difference between two pressures (differential) are called differential pressure gauges or differential pressure gauges (Fig. 7.8). Here, pressure acts on the sensitive element from two sides, these devices have two inlet fittings for supplying more (+ P) and less (-P) pressure.

Differential pressure gauges can be divided into two main groups: liquid and spring. According to the type of sensitive element, among the spring ones, the most common are membrane (Fig. 7.8a), bellows (Fig. 7.8 b), among liquid - bell (Fig. 7.8 c).

The membrane block (Fig. 7.8 a) is usually filled with distilled water.

Bell differential manometers, in which the sensing element is a bell partially immersed upside down in transformer oil, are the most sensitive. They are used to measure small differential pressures between 0 and 400 Pa, e.g. to monitor vacuum in the furnaces of drying and boiler installations.

The considered differential pressure gauges are scaleless, the registration of the controlled parameter is carried out by secondary devices, which receive an electrical signal from the corresponding displacement transducers.

Sensors of mechanical forces. These sensors include sensors containing an elastic element and a displacement transducer, tensometric, piezoelectric and a number of others (Fig. 7.9).

The principle of operation of these sensors is clear from the figure. Note that a sensor with an elastic element can work with a secondary device - an AC compensator, a strain gauge sensor - with an AC bridge, a piezometric sensor - with a DC bridge. This issue will be discussed in more detail in subsequent sections.

The strain gauge is a substrate on which several turns of a thin wire (special alloy) or metal foil are glued, as shown in Fig. 7.9b. The sensor is glued to the sensing element, which perceives the load F, with the orientation of the long axis of the sensor along the line of action of the controlled force. This element can be any structure that is under the influence of the force F and operates within the limits of elastic deformation. The load cell is also subjected to the same deformation, while the sensor conductor is lengthened or shortened along the long axis of its installation. The latter leads to a change in its ohmic resistance according to the formula R=ρl/S known from electrical engineering.

We add here that the considered sensors can be used to control the performance of belt conveyors (Fig. 7.10 a), measure the mass of vehicles (cars, railway cars, Fig. 7.10 b), the mass of material in bunkers, etc.

Evaluation of conveyor performance is based on weighing a certain section of the belt loaded with material at a constant speed of its movement. The vertical movement of the weighing platform (2) mounted on elastic links, caused by the mass of material on the tape, is transmitted to the induction-transformer converter (ITP) plunger, which generates information to the secondary device (Uout).

For weighing railway cars, loaded vehicles, the weighing platform (4) rests on strain gauge blocks (5), which are metal supports with glued strain gauges that experience elastic deformation depending on the weight of the weighing object.
