Control of flooded evaporator in a beer dispenser unit

This paper presents a gain-scheduling controller for a flooded evaporator laboratory plant at Polytechnic of Zagreb. The controller is designed based on a relatively simple linear parameter varying model of the process. For such a model a relatively simple gain scheduling controller has been designed with utilising PI controller and PI controller within Smith predictor control scheme. The designed control systems were verified in Matlab/Simulink environment.
