Simulation of the fuel gas valve PID controller in closed loop system

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the implementation of a fuel gas valve PID controller in the virtual environment. Dynamic systems simulation software environments provide the opportunity to create and test the entire model instantly and analyze the results. The object of regulation is the position of the gas valve needle fixed on the electromagnet core. The device controls the actuator to minimize error over time by adjustment of a control variable such as the position of the needle to a new location, thereby regulating chamber temperature. The simulation is further compared with real device measurements.
