A viscosity controller is a device that monitors and adjusts the viscosity (resistance to flow) of a fluid, ensuring it remains within a specified range for optimal performance. These controllers are commonly used in industries like printing, fuel combustion, and various industrial processes where fluid viscosity is critical.
- Measurement:
Viscosity controllers typically use sensors to measure the fluid’s viscosity, often based on principles like differential pressure, capacitance changes, or other physical properties.
- Control:
Based on the measured viscosity, the controller adjusts parameters like temperature, pressure, or the addition of other components to maintain the desired viscosity.
- Feedback Loop:
The controller uses a feedback loop to continuously monitor and adjust the fluid’s viscosity, ensuring it stays within the target range.
