On-off controllers are normally used for________________?
Correct answer: A. Low loads
- A. Low loads
- B. Temperature changes
- C. Flow rate changes
- D. None of these
Explanation
On-off control is simple but causes cycling around the set point, so it is generally suitable for low-load processes where this variation is acceptable. Continuous proportional or more advanced control is preferred for demanding load changes.
