Adaptive control of the ignition of sintering batch

Resumo

A mathematical model is proposed for the ignition of sintering batch. The main inputs (control signals, controllable and uncontrollable perturbations) that influence the output variables are identified. The corresponding control problem is formulated. Operational experience with the ignition hearths of sintering machines 10 and 13 at OAO MMK sheds light on the problems encountered in developing ignition-control systems.
