Temperature control of an electrical heater by using fuzzy logic

Abstract

This project will be done in collaboration with Friedrich Schultze Company, Siegen, Germany. The aim of the project was to develop the intelligent switcher for industrial heaters to detect the interfacing object placed on a ribbed radiator and to fulfil the standard EN60335-2-30. The focal point of this work contained an intelligent algorithm and basic electronic design for sensing temperature inorder to ensure safe working of an electric heater. The fuzzy logic technique will be used to develop the intelligent "switch off" algorithm. The tests were performed by different types of heaters.
