OK, now I blame you! This is all your fault. I was about to buy a “simple” PID controller for $800.00 from a company that makes stills. Now I am going to make my own PID controller for my still, and for my beer brewing. I am going to get a PID that I can program on my laptop for less than $100.00, plus the 60 amp solid state relay, and the other miscellaneous parts for less than $200.00 total. I will run 11,000 watts of ultra low wattage heating elements. HOW MUCH FUN THIS WILL BE!!!! Thank you for your awesome videos, and your excellent teaching skills. I am now addicted.

To help give some clarification on what PID actually means, think of it like this: all 3 P, I, and D control methods use the difference between the value (temperature reading) and the set point to determine a response. Proportional uses the instantaneous difference, integral uses the accumulation of past difference data, and derivative uses the current rate of change in the difference value. Combined they work as an often more effective control method as each will supplement the shortfalls of the others. Overall control systems and PID is a very complicated but interesting subject and I would recommend looking into the specifics more if you're curious but don't feel bad if it's a bit over your head. This subject is taught at a very high level in university engineering curriculum as well as graduate level courses

Hi George. Thanks for your video. We all learn from each other. In watching, I noticed several things. The first was that the on/off cycle (white board demo) looked like a saw tooth wave yet your explaination sounded like square. The later portion with a florescent bulb was obviously square (on/off). Your explaination sounded like a demo with an incandescant bulb hooked up to a rheostat where the operator (controller) started out twisting from full on to full off and gradually twisted less and less: less on/less off until the change was minimal. Meanwhile, the wattage (bright to dim) over time stabilized into a small ripple change. The resolution of the ripple is based on the frequency and change. Check out the Arduino videos on controlling AC voltage. Create comparison. Cheers.

Hey George. Thanks for all your videos. I've learned a lot. I was hoping you or maybe someone here could answer a question on pid controllers. If using the mile hi 2 in 1 reflux. If you increase the power on the pid can you compensate for the additional water vapor by increasing the water flow to the chiller in the tower? In doing so is there additional risk of scorching what's in the kettle? Or can you push the pid all the way up and add extra cooling to the tower Condensor? Basically trying to reduce overall runtime but want to be sure I'm not risking scorching anything. Thanks. Hope that makes sense.

A PID controller is excellent for holding a constant temperature but a still doesn't operate at a constant temperature throughout the distilling process. A still requires ever increasing amounts of heat in order to keep the distillation going as the ratio of ethanol to water decreases throughout the run. Ethanol starts to come off the still at 174 F and one constantly has to increase the temperature, depending on the flow rate from the condenser, to 203 F which typically completes a run. A PID cannot self regulate these temperature requirements thus requiring an operator to monitor the condenser flow rate and make temperature adjustments. This monitoring and adjustment is where the art of running a still comes into play. A PID is a great way to get your charge up to temp and holding it there prior to distilling but beyond that it offers no advantage to the home distiller.

Hi George.....I just completed building the inkbird PID temp controller following your most excellent tutorial. Everything works great. My question is about tuning. Would you please direct me to the vid that addresses setting parameters where the inkbird progressively "ramps" up to a set point. The other problem I'm having is establishing the on/off set points. For instance, my inkbird "screams" up to say 180F set point, the SSR opens, the temp drops down to 150F, relay closes, temp screams to 180F on and on.... I'm looking to tighten up the operating envelope. You're a great instructor! Thanks for everything. Jerry

@j3s0n4 жыл бұрын
PID controllers relate to a transfer function which models the devices output for any input value. The thermocouple subtracts the measured value from the set point and the remaining signal is called the error signal. This signal feeds a 3-term amplifier for PID and this amplifies the error signal, the integral (all of the previous error) and the derivative error (the rate of change of the error) and sums these three signals. This is a form of closed-loop feedback so it will continuously iterate. Eventually the error will tend to within 0.5% of the set point and this is the steady state error (the error as time tends towards infinity).

I'm not sure that is the best way to describe the three PID terms. For clarity, think of the output from the controller. The proportional term drives the output "proportional" to the deviation from setpoint. The integral term is the product of "deviation from setpoint multiplied by the time it has been away from setpoint (the controller will ramp up or down if the process value doesn't come back to SV. And the derivative term acts on how fast the process value is changing. If the controller senses the temperature just blasting off quickly, it will clamp down on the output based on the rate of change of the PV... Tuning a PID controller is done by varying the gain values you attribute to each separate term... Does that make sense?

You can add very important safety feature to your system as SSR sometimes go stuck ON when the heating element is starting to fail. This will cause uncontrollable raise in controlled temperature to maximum without any limits. What you need is a RELAY or CONTACTOR (if the heater element is 3 phase) and connect it to second (ALARM) port of PID controller. This will switch off power to the heater if PID detects SSR failure. Also the incandescent bulb will show your idea much better as it is proportional in nature instead of fluorescent which is on and off

Hi George. This seems to be a real hot potato topic in the distilling forums. Using a PID to control a (for example) a forced reflux still. I have some observations and questions. The boiling point of a wash is determined by the ABV of the mixture. The boiling point of the wash increases as the ABV goes down. Controlling the heating input contributes only to how vigorously it boils. If the boiling point of the wash (at the time) is, say, 80c and you set the PID on, say, 90c - the temperature of the wash CANNOT increase - only boil more vigorously. Is it correct to call this as a temp.controller and not a power controller (when applied to stills)? I think this is very important to get accross to new beginners (like me). So that being said...if I run a forced reflux column (with cooling management) - I can't see the logic of installing the thermo couple on the top of the column (afrter the column condenser). Wouldn't it be better to install it into the pot and use it as a manual power controller for the hotplate? Or am I completely wrong? I would really appreciate you input on this! Cheers!
@BarleyandHopsBrewing6 жыл бұрын
Not such a hot potato topic after all. This really all depends on how well you can manage temperature. Think of it like this - the magic point in the still is where the valor passes from the column to the condenser, if you know the temp at that point you know (for sure) that you are vaporizing ethanol. On the other hand if you only know the temp of the mash origin (in the kettle) you are simply guessing. It's like trying to maintain 50 MPH in you car by watching the tachometer. The tachometer will give you and indication of how fast your engine is running and the amount of power it is providing but does not give you the fidelity of how fast you are traveling. The speedometer does that. It's kind of the same principle - a probe in the kettle will be like watching the tachometer. It is possible to extrapolate what temps work best by doing so but I have found that the most direct method of temp management is to have the probe at the top of the column. Your biggest challenge is balancing the temp since you are pre-cooling the valor with water to achieve a reflux action. It is easy to over shoot or under shoot the temp via water flow and you find yourself chasing the temp by adjusting both the heat and water flow together. ABV does change in the mash over time so at regular intervals it would be necessary to change the boiling point of the mash as the temp needed to separate the ethanol changes. This is true even in a pot still and a lost on some people. It all has to do with temp management. Hope this helps George

Hats off for taking the time to write back George, thank you! This has got to be the single best and most informative reply to this question on the internett. Believe me I know - I've used many hours researching my design. What a great analogy about the car, speed and RPM's. It makes perfect sense. The reason I'm so hung up on the PID is because I have done a run or two on a friend's still which had a PID control (thermo couple on top of the column) and I think it is an ingenious way to apply control. The column however had minimal forced reflux capabilities. My only remaining worry is that if the hotplate takes its cue from the thermo couple on top of my column in, for example, full reflux the engine will be revving way too high. My reasoning is that the area directly over the deflag (a very effective deflag) will be far cooler than the area under the deflag. That said, I have just drilled and tapped the hole for my couple into the end cap of the column AND drilled a hole for a thermometer in the pot. Love gadgets and it will give me something more to look at. Besides race cars have their tacometers in the center of the dash ;) As I get to know the still I think the temperature on the PID will be an arbitrary number(s) that I will learn along the way. Keep up the amazing work and your enthusiasm George. You contribute enormeously to the collective wisdom of our community! Awesome videos - Thanks !!

+Shad Hall The PID doesn't heat up it controls the heater. It measures precise temperature and calculates the need for power to maintain a constant temp without cycling.

Lets say your set value is 78 degrees Celsius, The perceived value drops to 75 degrees Celsius and the PID determines the heating element needs a 12 % increase in power to bring the temp back to 78 degrees Celsius , does the PID increase the power by turning the power on 100% full power for a predetermined amount of time so the proportionate amount equals a 12% increase in power, or does the PID turn on the power that would equal proportionately 12% of the available wattage of electricity to the heating element? Let me clarify, does the PID increase the heat by turning the power 100% on for a adequate amount of time, or does it increase the heat by turning on the power by the amount of wattage or amps sent to the heating element? You say PROPORTIONAL does that mean 100 % power over a period of time? Or does that mean just the amount of power? I'm trying to describe this so you understand. Does the PID essentially just turn the power 100% on or 100% off like a thermostat? Or does the PID regulate power to the heating element?

i am looking for the answer to this as well. the way they are wired in a heating circuit , it seems impossible for the pid to regulate the energy ie 30% power output . i think it can only switch full on or off. confused.

Many controllers only output a digital signal, i.e. on or off, this is time proportioned according to what level of output is required using PWM, so at 100% power the output will be on continously, at 50% the ouput will switch on and off so that half the time is on, half is off, 25% power would be tuned on for 25% of time and off for 75% of time. So for example, the lowest setting usualy available on most controllers to opperate a SSR is 1 second, this means the lowest switching repetion rate on/off is 1 second. So at 25% output power the controller will activate the output for 0.25 seconds every second, 50% would be 0.5 seconds etc. The controller will determine how long to activate the output acording to the setpoint and measured process value. There are however also controlers that give an analogue output, for example 0-10v, so at zero power there would be no output and 100% power would be 10v output. (usualy output would be 4-20ma), these can give an almost infinite control over the process, used in conjunction with a phase angle controler it is possible to have very precise control.

Can you tell me if a Rex c 100 can control heating and cooling? So for example if I wanted to run a heater inside a refrigerator and control the refrigerator with the same Rex c 100.
@BarleyandHopsBrewing7 жыл бұрын
You cannot control both at the same time with the REX. Not real sure you can set it to control cooling either. Check the wiring diagram and see if it has a setting for cooling. Should be obvious if it does. If not the TD 4 will control heat or cooling but not together. George

@BarleyandHopsBrewing7 жыл бұрын
That's a good one. I am sure there is a way to do this. First though is to double up the controllers, two TD 4's would be perfect. One for heating and one for cooling (of course assuming that you would never have both happening at the same time). You could even use the same power supply (split between them) for both.

This is Two Georges the PID controllers that you get they do work fine why you should try building a analog meter with a control knob you get more accurate than the PID because it's up either going at 2 or down appointment to and you can just run it at a steady pace.

Can a PID controller, instead of governing the pot element, and controlling the boiler, be attached to a Motorised ball valve, and control the flow of column cooling water instead? I figure it'd have to do TWO jobs, then... Water open, then Water closed... Unlike an element where power off = cooling down, valve position should hold temp
