Controle do fluxo de ar de um transporte pneumático através da automatização de um damper para economia de energia em uma unidade de processamento de trigo em Ponta Grossa - PR

Abstract

The present work aims to reduce the consumption of electric energy of an engine through the automation of an electromechanical valve called Damper. The existing method controls the valve through the air pressure of the pneumatic transport, whereas the method suggested in this work will control it by the current of the motor that performs the exhaust. These two methods of flow control were compared through graphs generated by a current and power consumption measurement instrument, with the intention of evaluating the best control method, aiming to reduce the consumption of electricity. The new control method also provides greater protection to the engine that will operate in smaller currents.
