Abstract

The systems and methods can include calculating a dwell time or density of workpieces in a vessel; and modulating the one or more conditions of the system based on the dwell time or density of workpieces in the vessel. In an example, the system includes a vessel configured to carry a working fluid and a plurality of workpieces at least partially submerged in the working fluid; a delivery train configured to introduce workpieces into the vessel; a first counting sensor configured to generate an entrance signal based upon a workpiece introduced into the vessel; a transport train configured to transport workpieces introduced into the vessel to an exit of the vessel; a removal train configured to remove workpieces from the vessel through the exit; and a second counting sensor configured to generate an exit signal based upon a workpiece removed from the vessel through the exit.
