Control system for electromagnetic heating of hydrocarbon medium
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11946351B2) discloses a system for controlling electromagnetic heating of a hydrocarbon medium using a signal generator and a load with frequency, time, and amplitude-dependent impedance. The system includes a processor that determines a desired heating life cycle for the hydrocarbon medium, the current operational state, and a desired operational state to maximize alignment with the desired heating life cycle. The processor also calculates signal generator control settings to achieve the desired operational state, which are then applied to the signal generator to generate an output signal that heats the hydrocarbon medium by exciting the load.
Furthermore, the system's processor can update the desired heating life cycle based on the difference between the current operational state and the desired heating life cycle. The load, which includes radiating structures in the hydrocarbon medium, couples electromagnetic energy into the medium when excited by the output signal. The system also involves determining model parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and impedance, using sensors to measure actual properties and adjusting expected statuses accordingly. Additionally, the processor can determine desired load control settings and solvent control settings based on the desired operational state, providing a comprehensive approach to controlling electromagnetic heating in hydrocarbon mediums.
