What can power regulators be used for? we are going to cover this topic today. Power regulators can be widely used in the following areas: 1. Electric furnace industry: annealing furnace, drying furnace, quenching furnace, sintering furnace, crucible furnace, tunnel furnace, melting furnace 2. Machinery and equipment: packaging machinery, injection molding machinery, heat shrink machinery, kneading machinery, food machinery, tempering equipment, plastic processing, infrared heating 3. Glass industry: glass fiber, glass molding, glass melting, glass printing, float glass production line, annealing tank 4. Automobile industry: spray drying, thermoforming 5. Energy-saving lighting: tunnel lighting, street lighting, photography lighting, stage lighting 6. Chemical industry: distillation and evaporation, preheating system, pipeline heating, petrochemical industry, temperature compensation.

The powder coating oven requires precise control on both temperature and time, the typical process would be hold the temperature and a set value for a certain period of time, the conventional solution would be using two control device , one is a temperature controller and the other one is a timer. At Maxwell, we have a temperature controller with built-in timer, the temperature can be controlled at a preset value and the timer can be programmed to engaged when temperature reach to set value and holding the temperature at certain period of time, when the time elapsed, the burner will be turned off. our model FT20X is a perfect solution for the oven. when the coating process finished, operator can hear a buzzer goes off to sort of notify the process is finished.

PID temperature controllers works by adopting P.I.D algorithm and compare the difference between set value and process value, then decide the amount of output should be applied to the load to maintain the process value at or as close as possible to the set value. In a typical field applictaion, a lot of variations contribute to the outcome of the control process.  the PID controller is able to eliminate the impact from the surroundings and be able to adjust the output automatically to acheieve the best outcome. all of Maxwell temperature controller is PID controller, as oppose to PID controller, there are ON/OFF controllers on the market,  PID controller is for system where the tempreature control must be precise and the temperature is indeed critical to the system, like pharmaceutical industry, semi-conductor , some of applications on the other hand is less demanding when it comes to tempreature control precision. ON/OFF controller would be an ideal solution for these applic...

Selecting correct temperature transmitters could be quite challenging from time to time, there are a lot of factors needs to be take into consideration, but first and foremost is to make sure that the measurement accuracy and to convert a temperature sensor’s low-level (ohm or mV) signal to a standard 4-20mA current signal that can be readily accepted by a monitoring and control system, such as a DCS or PLC The evolving technology has made the temperature transmitter reliable, affordable,  below are the few things should be taken into consideration when choose the correct temperature transmitter. 1. Back of Panel or Local Installation Perhaps the most important consideration when specifying a temperature transmitter is the environment in which it will be installed. If the distance between the sensor measurement and the control room is relatively short and free of plant electrical "noise", temperature transmitters can be inexpensively installed in the control room, with senso...

The accuracy of a temperature transmitter is THE key aspects to look into, as with many instrumentation transmitter, a temperature transmitter needs to be adjusted or calibrated. So the current output of 4-20mA represents the temperature range of the process variable being measured, for example, a process variable temperature range of zero degree Celsius to 100 degree Celsius will produce a current range of 4 to 20 mA.In every calibration scenario, a sensor is replaced by a device that can simulate the output of the sensor over the entire process variable temperature range.  For a thermocouple, the sensor is replaced by a device that produces a range of millivolts. For an RTD sensors, the sensor is replaced by a device that produces a range of resistances. Devices produces resistances such as decade box,  today ,we’ve got signal reference calibrators to generate various reference signals for RTD and thermocouples which makes the calibration for temperature transmitters ...
