Discontinuous ‘PD’ Control of Thermal Processes

In thermal processes (boilers, furnaces, torches etc.) that are often discontinuously controlled (to reduce the cost of control) a great, deal of confusion has existed as to the effect of derivative signals in the feedback loop. This has resulted in empirical design rules for the derivative feedback...
