Modelagem dinâmica de uma caldeira flamotubular para simuladores imersivos

Abstract

This work presents the dynamic modeling of a fire-tube boiler, model SB/V 3, manufactured by I.VAR.INDUSTRY, for application in immersive simulators aimed at industrial training. The need for improved operator training and the growing demand for effective technological solutions motivated this research. The main objective was to develop a mathematical model capable of accurately representing the boiler’s operation, enabling its integration into simulators. The methodology consisted of gathering technical data, formulating representative equations for the main system sections, and implementing computational simulations. The modeling was validated through comparisons with experimental and theoretical data, ensuring the reliability of the proposed solution. The results demonstrated that the model efficiently reproduces the operational behavior of the boiler, allowing for the analysis of variables such as combustion gas temperature, water temperature, and response to variations in fuel flow. The simulation contributed to identifying critical points and optimizing equipment performance, highlighting the model’s potential for use in safe and effective training. Additionally, the use of simulators reduces operational risks and enhances operator skills without requiring intervention in real equipment. It is concluded that dynamic modeling applied to industrial training promotes greater safety, efficiency, and knowledge retention, making it a promising tool for the sector. Future studies may include incorporating advanced control algorithms and machine learning techniques to further improve the model’s accuracy and applicability.
