LOGIC IN AIR CONDITIONING, REFRIGERATION AND HEATING CONTROL.

Author(s) : CARTER E. P.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE AUTHOR BEGINS BY DEFINING THE ARISTOTELIAN NOTION OF LOGIC AND ITS INTERPRETATION IN VENN DIAGRAMS AND TRUTH TABLES. HE THEN SHOWS HOW THE ALGEBRAIC RULES OF SUCH LOGIC ARE PRESENTED AND DEMONSTRATES THEIR MEANING WITH THE SIMPLE SWITCHING CONTROL OF A COMPRESSOR BY A THERMOSTAT. LOGICAL METHODS MAY BE USED TO DRAW UP CONTROL CIRCUITS FOR ANY COMBINATION OF ON-OFF FUNCTIONS AND, IF PROPERLY UNDERSTOOD, SHOULD AVOID CIRCUIT ERRORS FROM APPEARING. THE ARTICLES CONCLUDE WITH A FEW MORE COMPLEX EXAMPLES. THE SERIES MAY BE A USEFUL INTRODUCTION FOR STUDENTS OF CONTROL ANALYSIS. D.W.H.
