Abstract
Hydraulic valve control systems are frequently utilized in automatic control systems, where high-speed on/off valves (HSVs) are common control components. The prolonged operation of HSVs inevitably leads to an increase in temperature, which affects their dynamic performance and reduces the reliability of the system. Consequently, an adaptive pre-excitation control algorithm (APECA) is proposed to enhance and maintain the dynamic performance of HSVs across varying temperatures. The variation of dynamic performance with rising temperature is studied both theoretically and experimentally. Subsequently, the pre-opening and pre-closing voltage of the APECA is optimized through current feedback, considering the changes in resistance due to rising temperatures. The dynamic performance of HSVs can be effectively improved while preserving their rapid performance and favorable flow characteristics. For a specific HSV, results indicate that with the APECA, the opening and closing delay times of the HSV are reduced from 1.38 ms to 0.21 ms and 7.7 ms to 0.09 ms, respectively, extending the controllable linear range of flow characteristics from 52 % to 87 %. Furthermore, from room temperature to the maximum thermal equilibrium temperature, the variation range of the total switching time and output flow is maintained within 0.01 ms (0.40 %) and 0.009 L/min (0.83 %), respectively. Therefore, the proposed APECA is effective in improving the response speed of the HSV and enhancing the robustness of the system.
期刊介绍:
Thermal Science and Engineering Progress (TSEP) publishes original, high-quality research articles that span activities ranging from fundamental scientific research and discussion of the more controversial thermodynamic theories, to developments in thermal engineering that are in many instances examples of the way scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges facing a growing population – smart cities and global warming – maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. It is intended that these will be of current relevance and interest to industry, academia and other practitioners. It is evident that many specialised journals in thermal and, to some extent, in fluid disciplines tend to focus on topics that can be classified as fundamental in nature, or are ‘applied’ and near-market. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress will bridge the gap between these two areas, allowing authors to make an easy choice, should they or a journal editor feel that their papers are ‘out of scope’ when considering other journals. The range of topics covered by Thermal Science and Engineering Progress addresses the rapid rate of development being made in thermal transfer processes as they affect traditional fields, and important growth in the topical research areas of aerospace, thermal biological and medical systems, electronics and nano-technologies, renewable energy systems, food production (including agriculture), and the need to minimise man-made thermal impacts on climate change. Review articles on appropriate topics for TSEP are encouraged, although until TSEP is fully established, these will be limited in number. Before submitting such articles, please contact one of the Editors, or a member of the Editorial Advisory Board with an outline of your proposal and your expertise in the area of your review.
