Thermal control is the detection and maintenance of measuring points such as temperature, pressure, flow, vibration and displacement; Automatic control of actuators, automatic adjustment of electric doors, computer control and automatic adjustment of DCS, DEH, ETS, FSSS and other systems.
Power plants generally have "thermal control workshops" or "thermal control teams", which are mainly responsible for the maintenance and overhaul of various heat meters (thermometers, pressure gauges, flowmeters, etc.). ), transmitters and automatic devices.
Specific work and development prospect of thermal control specialty
Thermal control personnel are mainly responsible for the management of thermal control instruments (instruments used to measure and control thermal parameters), including inspection, maintenance, defect elimination, overhaul and transformation. Daily work also includes calibration of measuring and display equipment, configuration of control software and logic, switching, transmission and testing of interlocking protection, adjustment of automatic control parameters and cooperation with maintenance and electrical specialty.
With the development of automation technology, thermal automation technology has also developed rapidly. Various sensors and transmitters produced by new principles, new materials and new processes are constantly being developed, and the control systems and devices are also changing with each passing day. New control theories and strategies are constantly emerging. Through the application of advanced control technology, thermal control specialty will surely play a greater role in thermal power plants.
