Abstract |
A mass emission data and control system was developed to provide the primary run-time control and data acquisition functions for a large closed loop wind tunnel. This system is used to simulate the conditions found in smoke stacks of various industries but with carefully controlled conditions. Experiments conducted in the test sections of the 'source simulator' can involve sampling, analytical equipment development or testing. The facility control functions consist of advisory and active control functions. The temperature, velocity and humidity can be programmed to follow a present time-value curve to simulate cyclic operations. In the data handling area are defined two classes of instrumentation: 'permanent' and 'non-permanent.' The permanent equipment is installed on the simulator to measure CO, CO2, SO2, NOX, H2O, O2, temperature, and velocity. The data system will automatically calibrate these instruments and record the data during the experiment. The system also has facilities for hooking up some 20 additional channels of 'non-permanent' instrumentation which can be almost any types of analog inputs from experimental equipment. The report describes system, technical, and test specifications and system components and software. Extensive flow charts and narratives describe the structure and content of the software. |
