| [en] The present study focuses on designing hydraulic scheme and process control system for small direct injection
sprayer equipped with five meters' boom (10 tip nozzles) based on DC electrical energy supply. A numerical model was developed by using finite volume method to study dynamic of concentration change process and to optimize the hydraulic boom design required to overcome lag transport problem related to real time application. The schemes of serial and parallel boom layouts were studied to obtain minimal lag transport for chemical concentration change process. The process control system was modelled in Matlab-SimulinkTM, and a laboratory test bench was implemented with a PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) feedback control for evaluating the performance of the constant carrier flow and the variable total flow strategies. The results of the hydraulic modelling of the serial boom layout showed that 6 mm boom diameter gave a satisfying performance in term of application uniformity (up to 97%) and lag transport along nozzles (from 0.8 to 1.5 s). The prospection of parallel scheme by feeding individually nozzles gave an even reduced lag transport (2 s) along the boom (diameter of 4 mm). The modelling of constant carrier flow control strategy showed a lag time of 2.5 s for the step speed change of 0.6 to 1.2 m/s at constant pressure of 2 bars. The total flow control strategy showed the advantage of reducing lag transport from 4 to 2.3 s when speed varied from 0.6 to 1.2 m/s in accordance with operating pressure (from 1 to 3 bars). The experimental tests showed the importance of varying carrier flow rate to improve the controller dynamic in comparison to the constant carrier flow control. | |
