The aims of this project are:
(a) To get familiar with modern PC based data acquisition systems.
(b) Prepare a PC based system to acquire data from the HTI Central Heating Model (temperature, flow rate ... etc.)
(c ) Write a program in Basic to acquire and process the data according to specific experiment work.
(d) Commissioning and testing the system.
In the project what is a data acquisition system is explained. Some instrument used in the system is shown and a computer program in basic language is written to acquire and process the data taken from the H.T.I. Central Heating Model.
A similar to the real PC based system to acquire data from the HTI, Control Heating Model was prepare, and the program was tested to see if it was
operative.
Theory about boiler and heat exchanger performances were written method of increasing the combustion and thermal efficiencies.
The test, suggested to test the system were written. These are: 1) measurement of CO2, stack temperature draft, and smoke, 2) Temperature gradient of Water in Water Tank, 3) Comparison of two method of heating water in water tank (a) Testing the performance of the system using the data acquisition system.
Finally the combined system description and operation were explained giving their specifications.
The most important conclusion after finishing this project is that data acquisition system is a quick and accurate method of measuring different parameters such temperature, flow etc) all together and through a computer program to use them for further processing. This method can be used for testing and continual controlling of plants or systems ego Power station and central heating system.
Another important conclusion is that adjustments for higher combustion efficiency of a boiler is an important factor for fuel economy and better overall efficiency of the system.
