Abstract
• Temperature control is one of the crucial process in industries involving air
drying as one of the major process. Drying is a process in which the
moisture is vaporized from the materials. The change in temperature
affects the overall performance in the drying process. The drying uses
different levels of temperature in an industrial dryer. In spite of the external
disturbances the temperature of the drying process must be maintained to
get the best output in drying. The real time band dryer is modeled using
system identification. For system identification the data is obtained from
the band dryer using DAQ in LABVIEW environment using measurement
and automation explorer. The input to the dryer chamber is the forced draft
fan and the output is the chamber temperature. Once the mathematical
modelling is done conventional controllers like P, PI, PID and adaptive
controllers like MRAC and IMC are implemented and the performance is
investigated along with performance evaluation criteria.
• KEYWORDS: Drying, Band dryer, DAQ, LABVIEW, Controllers
Aim and objective
• The main objective of the project is to make
comparative analysis between MRAC and IMC and
determine the optimum control mode for the band
dryer system.
• The temperature of an enclosed air dryer chamber is
to be maintained by using the Control algorithms.
• Based on the response of the controller the better
control algorithm for temperature control process
must be identified for the industrial band dryer.
Introduction
• Temperature control is important in processes like Food
processing, die-casting, paint drying, HVAC, Chemical
processing, Heat treatment etc., there are plenty of
applications for which temperature controllers can be used.
• Drying is a mass transfer process consisting of the removal
of water or another solvent by evaporation from a solid,
semi-solid or liquid. This process is often used as a final
production step before selling or packaging products where
temperature plays a vital role.
• The drying process must be monitored and controlled using
controllers
Drying process
• A dryer is a machine or apparatus used to remove moisture.
• It may be a small laboratory oven taking a few grams of moist material or a
large industrial unit handling Tons of wet feed per hour
There are three principal factors that define the nature of a dryer:
• The method of material conveyance through the drying section.
• The method of heating the material.
• The pressure and temperature of operation.
