AUTOMATION OF THE COMMAND OF A HOUSEHOLD REFUSE INCINERATOR

The treatment of household refuse being one of the ecological goals of the end of this century, a procedure is proposed in this article whic h enables to develop a simple and efficient control of a household ref use incinerator with grids. The automatic control is based on structur e of cascaded regulation loops and assures a good combustion in the in cinerator by monitoring: the furnace temperature around a set point ; the charge adjusted to the inferior calorific value of household refus e and by warranting a rational use of combustion air flow and of cooli ng air flow. The results show that the combustion regulation, which ha s been implanted for more than two years, is very satisfying. The prop osed regulation brings more safety and improves the efficiency of the incinerator.
