Modeling and control of plate type heat exchangers using PI and PID controllers

Abstract

The Heat exchanger is a significant system that are used in process, manufacturing and production industries. In present days the system developed should be effective and work in the most efficient way and must be energy saving. This enables us to concentrate on the field of heat exchangers where the energy processing happens. The consistent monitoring and control of temperature improves the performance and the heat transfer rate of the heat exchanger. Here in this paper the designed controllers are studied for plate type heat exchanger for controlling the outlet fluid temperature to their desired set point irrespective of sudden disturbance or nonlinearity of the process.
