Working of an Override Control
Introduction The override control concept is a technique by which process variables are kept with in certain limits, usually for protective purposes. Override control maintains the process in operation but within and under safer conditions. Override control To illustrate override control, consider the simple process shown in Figure A hot, saturated liquid enters a process surge...
