Problem Discussion Consider the heat exchanger shown in the figure, it is required to control the outlet temperature of process fluid, T, by manipulating the steam flow, RV. Please design the relevant control schemes on the diagram for the following cases: Case #1: both of the flow, RF, and steam inlet pressure, PV, are stable; Case #2: RF is stable, but PV varies frequently; Case #3: PV is stable, but RF varies frequently; Case #4: both of PV and RF varies frequently.

Summary • Cases which may introduce feedforward control (1) Primary Controlled Variable is not measurable (2) Primary CV is measurable, but some disturbances are too strong for feedback control systems • Conditions to apply feedforward control (1) Main disturbances are measurable (2) Response speed of disturbance path is slower than that of control path (3) Characteristics of disturbance and control path are almost invariable
