The use of mathematical modeling for the construction of a control system for a climate chamber

Abstract

Abstract Due to the introduced political instruments, as well as the increase in awareness and standard of living, mechanical ventilation is becoming more and more popular in Poland. The growing market and standards force the manufacturers of air handling units to constantly improve the quality of their products. In order to verify the operation of these devices, it is necessary in a specially adapted for this object called the climate chamber. Due to the strict regulations regarding the working conditions of the said facilities, it is necessary to apply the processes of advanced control systems in the process of regulation. These processes are aimed at establishing stable parameters of air supplied to the tested objects, ventilation and air-conditioning units such as: temperature, humidity, flux. Due to the need for precise control and operation of the installation in industrial conditions, it was decided to use the PID controller. The article deals with the optimization of the heating and cooling system, because the temperature parameter was a problematic element in the proper operation of the climate chamber. Both the heating and cooling systems have been described and executive elements have been emphasized, thanks to which it was possible to control the flow of circulating factors. The procedure of selection and implementation of the regulator's settings and its influence on the operation of the climate chamber was also analyzed.
