Temperature Control Trainer

Temperature Control Trainer

Overview – Process Control Temperature Trainer

The Temperature Control Trainer is an advanced process control educational setup designed to study the principles of temperature measurement and control in industrial process systems. It enables students to understand feedback, set-point response, and tuning techniques used for precise temperature regulation.

Widely used in Engineering Colleges, ITIs, Polytechnics, and Research Laboratories, this temperature control lab equipment provides hands-on training in process automation and control system analysis. Learners can observe real-time process behavior, controller action, and the impact of various control parameters on system performance.

Product Description – Temperature Control Educational Setup

This Temperature Control Trainer consists of a heating tank, temperature sensor (RTD or thermocouple), PID controller, actuator, and control valve arranged in a closed-loop system. The process fluid is heated using an electrical heater, while the controller maintains the desired temperature by modulating the control element based on feedback.

Students can perform open-loop and closed-loop experiments, analyze transient responses, and tune controller settings (P, PI, PID) for different control objectives. The temperature control test rig provides a clear understanding of control theory concepts such as stability, offset, and process dynamics.

Built on a durable MS powder-coated frame, the setup ensures long-term use, safe operation, and accurate results. It is ideal for academic institutions focusing on process instrumentation and automation training.
