A Fuzzy Logic Controller Approach for Controlling Heat Exchanger Temperature

This paper presents a fuzzy logic controller approach for controlling heat exchanger temperature. Fuzzy logic controller is an artificial intelligence-based controller. The fuzzy logic controller has been widely used for control applications in the industrial world. One of the tools used in the industrial world that requires accurate control is the heat exchanger. A heat exchanger is a device used to process the mixing of liquids that have different temperatures. In this case, temperature control becomes very important. Fuzzy logic control is applied to the heat exchanger so that the mixed fluid has a constant temperature. Fuzzy logic control models in this study are combined with neural network techniques. The fuzzy logic controller model is simulated in Matlab software. The results showed that the fuzzy logic controller was able to stabilize the temperature of the heat exchanger well.
