Project Description:
Temperature control is a process in which change of temperature of a space (and
objects collectively there within), or of a substance, is measured or otherwise
detected, and the passage of heat energy into or out of the space or substance is
adjusted to achieve a desired temperature.
The Temperature control system with a PID controller is used to monitor and
control temperature. This can be used in heaters, air-conditioners and many
more. Parameter that is monitored and controlled is temperature. To simulate, A
value for constant and the three values needed for the PID controller is tuned.
Values for the temperature of hot and cold water, flow rate and volume is also
user defined.The behavior of the system is observed by using two scopes, one for
scope error and one for the Temperature output.
PARAMETER MONITORED: Final Temperature
PARAMETER CONTROLLED: the initial set point of the temperature, the
temperature of hot and cold water, flow rate and volume
Proposed Gui
The final GUI has five textboxes for the values of set point of temperature,
temperature of hot water, temperature of cold water, flow rate and the volume.
One push button for plotting the error and the final temperature.
Proposed Block Diagram
The block diagram has a initial setpoint value. It goes to the tuned PID Controller
which has fixed values for Kp, Ki, and Kd. After that it goes to the process block.
The process block accepts 4 parameters namely: temperature of hot water,
temperature of cold water, flow rate and the volume for the final computation. A
scope is connected before the PID controller for error measurement, and a scope
for the output to observed the final temperature.
