Expander

Principle behind

EXPANDER
• Use to reduce the pressure of the carbon dioxide which results to a
phase change
• Pressure is reduced to 3.9 mPa
Variables
• MANIPULATED
1. Flow rate of the inlet carbon dioxide
• CONTROLLED VARIABLE
1. Outlet pressure
• Disturbance
1. Inlet temperature
2. Inlet pressure
Process Control
• PID (Proportional Integral Derivative Controller)
-fast response to the controller input that minimizes the
fluctuation in the output pressure
-increase control signal to produce zero error
- ability to remove oscillations and return the system to steady
state
Instrumentation
• PRESSURE SENSOR
-OPERATING PRESSURE: 20 Mpa
- Required outlet Pressure: 3.9 MPa

Process Automation
• Model 353 Process Automation Controller
-a stand-alone, microprocessor-based industrial controller designed for a broad
range of process applications. It can serve as a simple single-loop controller or
as a multi-loop controller with complete control and logic functions for a small
unit batch or continuous process
