Diseño e implementación de un control difuso de temperatura para etapa de calentamiento y enfriamiento de planta térmica del Grupo de Investigación Integra

Abstract

This project contains a proposal for the reconditioning of a thermal teaching plant of the integra research group. The thermal plant has a heating and cooling stage. It is capable of raising and lowering the temperature of the coolant that flows through 2 exchangers located in the two stages. In this project, a diffuse temperature control was implemented for the heating stage and one for the cooling stage. These 2 controls work simultaneously, functioning or ceasing to interact in the process based on the temperature of the process and the temperature to be reached. If it is necessary to raise the temperature, the diffuse heating control operates and the cooling control is used at its minimum. This methodology is applied inversely when it is desired to lower the temperature of the process. To have a functional temperature control, modifications and adjustments were made to the temperature sensors and maintenance to the actuators, which guaranteed the correct operation of the plant.
