The disclosure is directed to a saturated water spraying system configured
to rapidly respond to rapid load changes by implementing a single
integrated DCS control block. The integrate DCS control block may include
a plurality of process control routines that are necessary to control the
operation of the spraying system. For example, upstream and downstream
PID control routines may determine and output control variables, and
other control routines may be provided as necessary to handle
disturbances within a boiler affecting the outlet and spray steam
temperatures, and to ensure that the steam temperatures do not fall into
the saturation region during operation of the boiler. Because the
routines are part of the same control block, the common storage for the
control block may be accessed by each of the routines without the
necessity of establishing additional communication links for transferring
the information as is required when using cascaded function blocks.
