Abstract

ABSTRACT The development of MlMO control systems for individual conveyor-belt drying chambers was studied for the case of industrial units used for the moisture removal from wet raisins. The process was considered to be a 2×2 open-loop system in which material moisture content and temperature at the exit of the drying chamber were to be controlled. Its dynamic behavior was investigated via digital simulation of the corresponding process mathematical model which involves 6 state variables. The effect of several manipulated and load variables on process outputs was explored by examining the corresponding responces obtained when the input variables were step forced into the non-linear dryer model simulator around the operational point studied. Reliable transfer functions for each interaction module were produced, based on simulated data and process basic constants. The best control configuration was selected bv deriving the RGA values of each one that was based on its frequency information. The propsed schem...
