Temperature Control Techniques for Heat Exchanger System: A Review

Abstract

Heat transfer from one process fluid to another is necessary application of the process control. Heat exchangers are most widely used in industrial application to transfer of heat. Different types and configuration according to its flow, temperature and pressure, etc. are used for different application. Oil and gas, food industries, HAVAC system, power generation heat exchanger are widely used. Control objective is to keep outlet temperature of heat exchanger at desired temperature level. To control outlet temperature of heat exchangers conventional and complex structure are used. The simulation result obtained by using MATLAB or other software are compared with conventional controller and performance comparison are outlined in this paper.
