Description
- To open the Dilution model, click on the Examples project and select it from the Models tree.
- In the upper example, three Dilution equipments are sequenced to lower the consistency in the pulp stream by adding the appropriate amount of dilution liquor.
- The overall sequencer calls first the three dilution in series, and second, the dilution equipment from the bottom part.
Usage Tips
- Sequencer: Sequencers are used to determine which blocks will be asked to perform calculations and which are not, but also determine the sequence of the blocks called for calculations. Left click on a sequencer to see the order that the blocks are called for calculations. A sequencer may call another sequencer, too.
- Model run: When none of the model items is selected and the user presses RUN (or F5), ApiMax will find all the sequencers and run them. If the user wants to run only one sequencer, or a block, he has to select it first and then press Run (or F5).
- Notes: Notes are these small yellow triangles. Notes can be found in the “Utilities” project. A large amount of information could be written in a note, but they will not be visible, unless if the user click on the note. Notes about missing data, comments about the data source, or the users thoughts about a model part are very often included in the notes.
- Model simplicity: In pulp and paper industry it is very hard to control the pulp stream consistency, so someone can very often see two, three, or more dilution devices (or tanks) in series. In steady state models consistence is controlled very easily and accurately with one dilution block, so the user can simulate all the dilution devices in series with only one dilution block. Simplicity is very important for big models that require a lot of time to be built, run or modified.
