COMPUTER MONITORED DYE BATH

摘要

A portable monitoring system having the ability to collect the real-time data from a dyebath machine with a high degree of accuracy. The system is divided into modules allowing the chemical sensing to be performed in close proximity to the dyebath while allowing the electronic analysis and control elements to be positioned remote from the dyebath. The chemical sensing equipment is connected to the dyebath by a circulation loop which circulates a sample flow from the dyebath past the sensing probes for analysis. The electronic analysis and control components are connected by fiber optical and electrical cables and can therefore be located remote from the dyebath. The spectrophotometer software has been programmed in a user-friendly way and can be operated by any personnel within a plant. The portable monitoring system automatically calculates calibration equations, optimizes the dyeing process, and archives all the dyeing data for later use.
