V10K™ VACUUM GAS FEEDER

WALLACE & TIERNAN® PRODUCTS

V10K™ SYSTEM: PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
WORLDWIDE IN USE
Since Charles F. Wallace and Martin F. Tiernan discovered the first chlorine gas
feed system in 1913 the Wallace & Tiernan brand is a synonym for safe and reliable
disinfection of water.
EXACT DOSING The V10k™ gas feed system
DUE TO V-NOTCH™ is an efficient, low-capacity
gas feeder for up to 15 kg/h

MODES

With the V10k™ system the following control modes

are available:
• Manual control
• Start/stop or program control through injector
water operation (solenoid valve)
• Simple ratio control through a 4–20 mA input
• Chlorine residual control through SFC system
• Flow proportional control through SFC SC flow
proportional control
• Compound loop control through SFC PC process
controller
SFC SC flow proportional control
The Wallace & Tiernan® SFC SC system is used for
flow proportional controlled dosing of chemicals
SFC MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEM used in water treatment and for similar industrial
process applications. It can control automatic V-notch
positioners in gas feed systems like the V10k gas
dosing system or automatic stroke length positioners
and variable speed drives in dosing pump systems.
SFC PC Process control
The SFC PC system controls processes based on
a control variable (e.g. flow signal) and an actual
measurement value. The measurement signal
may be a direct sensor signal or an external mA
signal. By using the “fuzzy-logic” auto-tuning control
technology at the compound loop control mode the
control performance is improved against traditional
controllers.
The SFC PC process controller saves its responses
related to control deviations and uses this data for
future control calculations. So the actuating control
output is optimized by fast reaction on flow value and
continuously adjusted control parameters through
memory data.
