Solutions for critical temperature control

“Cracking” is a carefully controlled process, which was invented by Russian Engineer Vladimir Shukhov in 1891, and eventually modified slightly by American Engineer William Merriam Burton in 1908. A large number of chemical reactions take place during the procedure and depending on the application; this can sometimes number in the hundreds, if not thousands which have been proven and tracked on computer model simulations. This process is used worldwide in many industries and applications.

In this particular purpose the desired results are for producing Propane, Butane and Gasoline. As mentioned earlier, temperature control is a crucial factor in successfully achieving the most consistent outcome.

According to Daniel Samer, of C-CON, “OVEN Industries 5R1-1400 Temperature controller has been keeping the ingredients at a steady temperature, and hasn’t changed at all. This controller has been working well and we’re very pleased with the results”.

Presented here are all the vital inputs and outputs for an Electronic Temperature Controller that “is all it’s cracked up to be”.
