Abstract

The heating source temperature of the vacuum belt system (VBD) is an important factor affecting the drying rate and the material quality. However, it has problems with large fluctuation, instability, and hysteresis due to interference from various factors, which increases the drying time and energy consumption. To address these issues, this study proposes fuzzy control and integral control synergistic (FCICS) control to realize temperature regulation of the VBD system, enhancing the performance and stability of the heating source. Simulations were conducted in Simulink, and an experimental verification was carried out based on the constructed experimental system. The results show that the FCICS control outperforms the conventional PID control in terms of material warming rate, temperature stability, and energy consumption, and the transient and stable state performance is improved. Specifically, the material warming rate increased by 15%, temperature stability improved by 20%, and energy consumption decreased by more than 1.74% with the FCICS control strategy.
