Temperature Simulation and Control System for Automobile Coating Line Drying Rooms

Product manufacturing systems are one of the largest energy consumers. Focusing on the production of the automobile body coating in particular, the authors investigate the drying system of coating line to improve the energy efficiency during the drying process of the parts. First, The flow field of a drying room is simulated with FEM. Then, an applicable regulation system for controlling the energy loss is built. The proposed method effectively improves the energy utilization of the drying system; thus, decreasing energy loss.
