Course overview
As discussed in previous courses, circulating water systems play a large role in a power plant's efficient operation. Instruments and controls provide operators with a way to monitor, adjust, and manage circulating water systems.
The Circulating Water System Controls training course looks at how instrument output signals can be coupled to controls that allow the system to automatically respond to changing conditions. It describes typical instruments and control systems used within the circulating water system. This online course discusses:
- Basic instruments
- Automatic controls
- Intake structure instruments
- Condenser instruments
This course is part of the Circulating Water Systems training series.
- Training Type: Online Interactive
