Abstract:To address the challenge of temperature uniformity control in paper drying ovens, this study proposed a distributed temperature control system integrating fiber bragg grating (FBG) sensing with dynamic predictive technology, overcoming limitations of traditional thermocouples such as response lag and low spatial resolution. A 3D virtual temperature field model was established and combined with a sparse FBG sensor network (3 400 measurement points) and a natural neighbor dynamic reconstruction algorithm, achieving high-precision temperature field reconstruction (RMSE: 1.5 ℃). A zoned predictive control strategy was designed. Dynamic PI algorithms were employed to optimize thermal inertia compensation and multi-zone coordinated control, reducing steady-state errors to within ±1.5 ℃, accelerating response speed by 30%, and lowering energy consumption by 18%. Experimental results demonstrated robust performance under extreme conditions (e.g., sudden heater failure, high-speed paper feed), maintaining 80% coverage of the 85 ℃ isothermal surface and suppressing temperature gradients by over 40%.
