Beer fermentation process is a complex biochemical reaction process.It is the most important to control temperature of the wort in fermentation tank in accordance with the beer fermentation temperature curve so as to ensure the completion of fermentation.The controlled object is characterized by large inertia,long time delay and mutual coupling of three temperature areas.Based on this,a temperature control method for beer fermentation system is designed.Using digital incremental proportion integration differentiation (PID) control algorithm,the controlled quantity is transmitted to the controlled object after diagonal matrix decoupling.This simulation system can be completed in laboratory using VB and Kingview software,so it has the features of good security and low cost.It is very suitable for experimental teaching.
