• Characteristics
• Examples
AEI504.60 TO 61 2
Characteristics of Ratio Control
AEI504.60 TO 61 3
• It can be accomplished by using measurement from two
sensors as input to the controller

Ratio control
AEI504.60 TO 61 5
• In this system c = x1/x2
AEI504.60 TO 61 6
• Ratio of two reactants (variables) must be controlled
AEI504.60 TO 61 7
General Example
• Two variables
• Flow rate of A
• Flow rate of B
AEI504.60 TO 61 8
A compound system for which ratio of two flow rates is controlled
AEI504.60 TO 61 9
• Floating variable
• Flow rate of A
• Adjusting variable
• Flow rate B
AEI504.60 TO 61 10
Example
AEI504.60 TO 61 11
Solution
AEI504.60 TO 61 12
• It is desired to control flow B in a preset ratio to flow A

Acid water ratio control system
AEI504.60 TO 61 15
• The o/p becomes set point of controller that regulates
flow B
AEI504.60 TO 61 16
Example
AEI504.60 TO 61 17
Solution
-Rf Rf
• Vout = V1 - V2
R1 R2
AEI504.60 TO 61 18
Circuit for example 2
AEI504.60 TO 61 19
• If we make vout = 0, then the voltage ratio is
v1 R1
v2 R2
• One input voltage must be negative (because we
cannot use negative resistance)
R1 = 3.5 R2
AEI504.60 TO 61 20
• Because gain is unspecified, we can use
Rf = R1
AEI504.60 TO 61 21
Applications
AEI504.60 TO 61 22
• Used in chemical processes where different process
parameters are inter related
