Dosing
Flow-rate control in an industrial automatic
washing system
Task
An industrial automatic washing system must be filled with a
preset quantity of wash water. In addition to the wash water,
it is necessary to provide rinse water at a constant volume
flow.
Solution
The washing drum of an industrial automatic wash system is embedded
in several washing chambers and transports the linen to be washed
from chamber to chamber by rotation. A preset wash water stream
is added to the first chamber via an angleseat valve. The wash
water is supplied from a supply tank whose fluid level is monitored
by means of an ultrasonic level transmitter. The quantity of
water flowing is detected by means of a magnetic inductive flow
transmitter. Rinse water is added in reverse flow to the direction
of the wash water via the last chambers. A partial stream is
supplied uncontrolled via a globe valve. The second partial
stream of rinse water is controlled via a globe control valve
so that the total stream pumped from a supply tank and required
by the wash process is achieved. The controlled partial stream
and total stream of water are measured via magnetic inductive
flow transmitters. The overflowing water from an overflow tank
is admixed to the rinse water via a globe valve, thus achieving
a closed rinse circuit.
