Implementação de um sistema de controle para um secador.

Abstract

One of the great challenges of the agro-industrial sector is to combine quality with high productivity, satisfying the market requirements. In virtue of this reality, automation tools must be applied in many agricultural processes. This work studied the use of controllers to drying system. The most important parameter of drying system is the air temperature. The transfer function coefficients were used to simulate the controls. The laboratory tests showed that the simulation can be used to obtain adequate parameters to real system.
