SIMULATION THERMAL CONTROL PID MODELS

The data presented here describes the behavior and characteristics of a closed chamber thermal system, with the technical capabilities needed in applications such as incubation, cell culture, refrigeration, dehydration or dry air sterilization. The dataset was collected from a low cost designed apparatus, approaching real world applications by including ambient air infiltrations, pressure and heating losses in a plastic container. This data article includes furthermore plain text data from temperature and electrical current sensors, an image that illustrates the control model, schematics of electronic circuitry needed and a 3D representation of the actual device in PDF format. The raw data were measured in three different temperature ranges, using specific actuators for each stage, to be then simulated, analyzed or optimized using Matworks® software tools.
