AN APPARATUS AND METHOD TO MONITOR INLET AND EXIT PARAMETRIC CONDITIONS OF STEAM IN A THERMAL HEATING SYSTEM TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL EFFICIENCY

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for optimizing performance of steam heating systems through accurate measurement of inlet and outlet parameters of steam, comprising : a programmable input/out unit (1) which can be a microcontroller and having at least one memory device and a computer program, receiving converted digital data acquired through a plurality of primary sensors (2), through a processing means (5), the output of the programmable unit (1) converted to analog data and transmitted to activate variable frequency drives of a power source of flow pump motors; a plurality of input and output temperature sensors and pressure transducers, the input sensors (2) attached to the thermal heater to measure and output analog signals on the status of steam entering into the process and exiting from the process; an analog to digital converter (4) receiving the analog signals and converting to digital signals; a power source (3); an artificial intelligence with logic rule (5) interfaced to the microcontroller (1) to process the input digital data to the microcontroller (1) and output processed analog signals; a digital to analog converter to convert the digital signals outputted by the microcontroller.
