Working Principle
The system operates based on a PLC-controlled automation platform and works in coordination with the autoclave's sensors, valves, and steam supply network. Its main functions include:
● Steam Intake Control: Automatically opens and adjusts inlet valves to deliver the appropriate amount of saturated steam into the autoclave, following predefined pressure and temperature curves.
● Pressure and Temperature Monitoring: Continuously monitors real-time data to maintain stable curing conditions during the soaking phase.
● Steam Exhaust Regulation: Precisely controls steam release to ensure gradual depressurization, avoiding product cracking or structural stress due to rapid temperature drops.
● Safety Interlocks: Automatically prevents operation under abnormal conditions (e.g., overpressure, overheating), ensuring safe and stable operation.
● Multi-Zone Management (Optional): For multi-section autoclaves, the system can perform zone-specific steam regulation, enabling finer control over curing stages.
