MONITORING AND ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A HIGH PRESSURE FEEDER IN A CELLULOSE CHIP FEEDING SYSTEM FOR A CONTINUOUS DIGESTER

摘要

A method and computer controlled apparatus to control fluid leakage in a high pressure feeder and a stationary housing with a chamber in which rotates a pocket rotor. The method includes: monitoring the fluid leakage from the high pressure feeder, wherein the fluid leakage is discharged from a low pressure outlet of the high pressure feeder; determining whether the fluid leakage is within a predefined range of acceptable fluid leakage, and moving the pocket rotor in the chamber to adjust the fluid leakage.
