Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back Automatic system controlling optimal mode of wood drying by application electric field Sinyutin E.V., Yulenets Yu.P. The article suggests the automatic control system for wood drying process by application high frequency electric field. The system is designed on step-type optimizing apparatus; it seeking and maintaining target function extremum in conditions when uncontrollable disturbances are acting to the drying process. As the system goal function the following criterion is substantiated: “minimum of vapor pressure increment in wood blank per unit of power addition”.
