Fuzzy Control of Carbon Dioxide Concentration in Premises
نویسندگان
چکیده
The carbon dioxide concentration in rooms with varying number of people is an important safety and comfort factor. Its control via ventilation is accompanied by two drawbacks the increased energy consumption and dependence on the quality of the fresh air used. Fuzzy logic can ensure energy efficient control of the carbon dioxide concentration. The aim of the present research is to develop a design procedure for fuzzy logic controllers (FLC), to apply it to a laboratory HVAC system and to assess its performance in real time experimentation. The main results are a design procedure for two structures of FLCs – with and without reference, real time investigation of the designed systems and comparison of their performances. Key-Words: Carbon dioxide concentration control, fuzzy logic controller design procedure, Laboratory HVAC system, energy efficiency, MATLAB TM real time experimentation

The aim of this study was to investigate the adaptation of the cyanobacterium Fischerella sp. ISC 107to combined effects of carbon dioxide concentration, acidic and alkalinity. Axenic strain was incubated in BG0-11 medium. Carbon dioxide treatments were limited and relatively non-limited. Acidic (pH 5), neutral (pH7), and alkaline (pH 9) conditions were employed in each treatment. Survival, gro...
