Abstract

This paper presents identification of heat characteristic of plasmatron powered plasma reactor designed and build in Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements. Plasma reactor is the key element of the test setup, designed to research processing and recovery of metals from waste of electric and electronic equipment, focusing on electronic printed circuit boards. Identification was based on step response of the reactor, to step input power of the plasmatrons. Two experiments were carried out. First experiment with power of 36 kW, and second experiment using 29 kW. In each experiment two temperatures were measured in two points of the reactor chamber, allowing identification of four thermal responses. Object transfer function G(s) was assumed as second order inertial. This assumption was confirmed during identification. The model will be utilized for determination of PID controller with additional functionality.
