Diseño e implementación de un prototipo de controlador industrial en modo deslizante (SMC) para la torre de enfriamiento del Laboratorio de Transferencia de Calor de la Facultad de Ingeniería Mecánica de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional

Abstract

The present project aims to design and implement a controller in sliding modes for the cooling tower of the Heat Transfer Laboratory of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the National Polytechnic School, in order to establish a comparison of this with a PI controller which is currently implemented in such a way that both types of controllers can be compared and then advantages and disadvantages can be established in the same process. The selected control board, and its peripherals, are inexpensive (Arduino Mega) which allows to establish this design as a prototype controller in sliding modes that can be implemented in any industrial processes where a commercial PID type controller is currently used.
