Sin-mary--The theory developed in part I is applied to the following two-variable control systems for distillation columns: (a) pressure control by condenser cooling, and temperature control by reboiler heating; (b) overhead quality control by reflux, and bottom quality control by reboiler heating.

✦ Synopsis
SmnmarymIn general, multivariable control systems are too complex for even a qualitative description of their behaviour.
However, for linear two-variable control systems with two control lOOps, the situation is more favourable. In this article, the influence of one loop on the other is deduced from a polar diagram. The interaction quotient of the process K=(G12 G21)/(GII G22) in which the G's represent response functions of the process is used as a convenient measure for the degree of mutual influence.
This study is focussed on control systems for continuous distillation columns and gives the theoretical background. The application to distillation columns will be treated in Part II.
