Drinking water control and distribution

Test bench for level, flow and pressure control in drinking water systems and tanks, perfect for teaching students relevant topics in a hands-on manner.

Features:

• Process measurements (Water level in the tank by ultrasounds)
• Tanks (Water tank simulating a natural water reservoir, Storage tank simulating a water tower)
• Variable-flow pumps (Circulator pump with Brushless motor, Compressor)
• Valves (Quarter-turn manual valves, Solenoid valve for flow disturbance)
• Control unit (Labview Interface, Variable speed drive)

Training activities:

• Functional analysis: drinking water storage and distribution systems
• Measurement principles (physical laws, sensors, transmitters..)
• Variable-flow pumps
• Identification of a stable open-loop and closed-loop system
• Unstable OL and CL systems
• Simple water level control, responding to a set point change, responding to disturbances
• Integrator level control
• Pressure and flow control, split-range control
• Energy saving in drinking water systems management

Product advantages:

• Ideal for studying process instrumentation, water level regulation, flow control and pressure regulation
• Simple and complex regulation systems
• System based on an actual application (Drinking water distribution with water tower)
