Sažetak

In this paper development and testing of an electronic controller for operation of a beverage cooling device is described. This development is a part of a project research that includes a cooling device with a water-submerged evaporator and its adequate regulation system. Authors have developed a controller device, mathematical models, and algorithms “from scratch” and in this paper an optimization of a regulation device is described: selection of a smaller and more effective microprocessor, necessary reduction in number of inputs and outputs, new ECB development and an optimized algorithm for the dynamic cooling process.
