Abstract
Abstract We are in the age of Smart Industry or Industry 4.0. Its application is very important in situations that can be simulated and allow process control in university teaching lab practices. Therefore, this research is focused on the “Temperature simulation and control for lab-scale convection dehydrators” that can be used to dehydrate fruits and vegetables as a practical application. The research was carried out by the Informatics laboratory of the Agroindustrial Engineering professional school of the Universidad Nacional de Moquegua, using National Instruments’ LabView software version 2016 to simulate and control the temperature within a lab-scale convection dehydrator. The programming block diagram was developed along with the front panel of the temperature and control simulation for a lab-scale fruit and vegetable dehydration chamber in which the heat generator could be turned on and off when the temperature was below or above the set point, while keeping the dehydrator in operation. The results expected were successfully achieved for the programming of the dehydration chamber’s temperature simulation and control, as the heat generator operates at the temperature set point by turning the system on and off.
