Video: Tuning the Hot Air Loops
2015-08-27 17:49:00| Chemical Processing
This video examines the tuning of the hot air pressure and hot air temperature controllers. The loops will be tuned in the sequence suggested in the previous video but not as part of plant start-up. Instead, the process is operating and each controller has been previously tuned. The objective is to assess how well each loop is tuned, and make adjustments if appropriate.

Also cited as one of the 50 most influential people in the field, he teaches courses on control topics and has authored or co-authored 14 books, including "Digital Control of Industrial Processes and more than 100 articles.
