Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to an adaptive airflow control system for positioning damper systems or controlling air units utilized in an environment control system. The system is based on a conservative, fixed-gain, proportional-only feedback design to guarantee stable operation given the nonlinear behavior of flow through a valve or damper. A time-dependent deadzone of nonlinearity is used to reject measurement noise. Such a system allows a person to adjust the performance of the system by selecting a parameter that affects the tradeoff between tracking capability and noise rejection.
