Definitions
- the present invention relates to field devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to process interfaces between the field device and the process.
- Field devices such as process variable transmitters, are used by a number of industries to remotely sense a process variable. Such variables are generally associated with fluids such as slurries, liquids, vapors, gases, chemicals, pulp, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, food, and other fluid processing plants. Process variables may include pressure, temperature, flow, turbidity, density, concentration, chemical compensation, and other properties. Other examples of field devices include valves, actuators, heaters, and controllers.
- Process variable transmitters are used to measure and provide accurate and reliable process measurements.
- One of the challenges in making accurate and reliable process measurements is maintaining the integrity of the process interface and the process medium itself. It is common for the process fluid to clog or solidify due to changing temperatures or changes in the state of the fluid itself leading to erroneous measurements and potentially unsafe process conditions.
- the use of thermal control systems in industrial process control and measurement is known. For example, high purity vacuum transducers often have an internal thermal control system to maintain the entire device at a selected temperature in order to increase accuracy and/or longevity of the device.
- some field devices employ a thermal control system disposed proximate a primary element in order to ensure that the element is maintained at a desired temperature. For example, it is known for pitot tubes to be heated such that they do not accumulate ice in measuring air velocity during flight .
- thermal control systems to field devices.
- These techniques generally employ electrical heat elements or steam tracing but are difficult to install, have poor temperature measurement and control, and are costly and troublesome to maintain.
- These devices are "addon" designs that are typically attached externally to the connection hardware or measurement instrument itself. While prior approaches have generally addressed some thermal issues of the instrument modules and primary elements themselves, the process interface element has not been utilized for such uses. Installations with thermal control elements added-on to the process interface element require additional control systems, additional installation time and expense. Further, such systems are more susceptible to failure since they are exposed to the elements. Thus, there is a need for field devices having process interface elements with more integral thermal control systems. Such field devices would provide the advantages of thermal control of the process interface less expensively and more robustly.
- a field device is coupled to a process through at least one process interface element.
- the process interface element may be a field device flange, a manifold, impulse tubing or a process flange.
- the process interface element has a temperature sensor attached thereto, and is adapted to receive a thermal source.
- the source is one or more electrical heaters.
- the thermal source is heat transfer fluid tracing through the process interface element.
- a controller is coupled to the temperature sensor and is adapted to control the heat applied to the process interface element based upon the temperature of the process interface element measured by the temperature sensor.

- switch 110 of system 100 is replaced by valve 122 in system 120.
- Valve 122 is coupled to source 124 of thermal transfer fluid.

- switch 160 may be a relay, a semiconductor switch, or any other suitable device.
- Manifold 152 includes mounting holes 162 and pressure conduits 164.
- Thermal control system 150 allows the manifold 152 to be maintained at a selected temperature set point stored in controller 108. Accordingly, if sensor 106 indicates that the actual temperature of manifold 152 is below the set point, controller 108 will energize switch 160 along lines 112 in order to heat manifold 152 using cartridge heaters 156. Any suitable control regime can be used including, but not limited to, proportional, proportional-integral, proportional-derivative, and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) .

- FIG. 8 merely shows one example of a thermally controlled impulse pipe.
- Other embodiments include impulse piping heated or cooled by steam tracing.
- the field device provides a thermal control function such that an additional temperature controller is not required.
- Thermal control of the process interface provides a number of advantages. First, in applications where the process interface is operated near a freezing temperature of the process medium, providing a controlled source of heat ensures that the passageways from the interface to the pressure sensor module do not freeze. Further, even in applications where the temperature is not near the freezing point of the process medium, heating the process interface is believed to reduce the occurrence of solidification or clogging due to changing temperatures or changes in the state of the fluid itself. Further, in embodiments where the process interface is controllably cooled, such cooling may help keep the temperature of the process medium proximate the interface below critical temperatures such as the boiling point of the process medium.
- both the switch/valve and the controller may be incorporated as part of the field device.
- the controller of the thermal control system is part of the field device, aspects of the thermal control, such as current process interface element temperature, and/or alarm conditions can be conveyed over the process control and measurement loop. Additionally, the controller can receive a new temperature set point for the thermal control system over the process control and measurement and loop, as desired.
- the process interface element thermal control system may be wholly independent of the field device.
- the field device may operate on the relatively low power of a process control and measurement loop (e.g. 4-20 mA) while the thermal control system may employ 120 volt 60 Hz power.
- the processors of the field device and thermal control system may be coupled together to enable communication therebetween. While embodiments of the present invention have been described with respect to a single process interface element, it is expressly contemplated that the thermal control system may be applied to multiple process interface elements with respect to a single field device, or with respect to multiple field devices.
