To effectively cope with parameter uncertainty and external interference in steam heat exchangers, reduce control overshoot, and improve the stability of intelligent control of steam heat exchangers, an intelligent air-frequency domain joint control method for steam heat exchangers is studied. Extracting spatial basis sequences of steam heat exchangers using principal component analysis method; using spatial basis sequences to convert the spatial set values of parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate of steam heat exchangers, and obtain the set values of a low dimensional model; using the error between the set value and the actual value as the input data for an incremental fractional order PID controller, a joint spatial frequency domain incremental fractional order PID controller is designed to obtain the incremental control quantity of the steam heat exchanger; by analyzing the phase amplitude frequency and phase angle characteristics, the open-loop frequency domain characteristic constraints of the steam heat exchanger are designed. Combined with the performance requirements of minimum overshoot, the parameters of the incremental fractional order PID controller are tuned and optimized to effectively cope with parameter uncertainty and external interference in the steam heat exchanger, and improve the stability of intelligent control of the steam heat exchanger. Experimental results have shown that this method can effectively extract spatial basis sequences of steam heat exchangers; this method can effectively and intelligently control steam heat exchangers; in a variety of external disturbances, the control overshoot is less than 2.9%, the lowest can be up to 0.0%, far better than the comparison method, at the same time, the controller can quickly respond to changes in the set point, the steam flow and water supply temperature stabilization time of 3 min and 5 min, respectively, in the heat exchange efficiency of 90% of the industrial heat exchanger to achieve the key parameters of the precise control, and effectively reduce the energy consumption and the risk of failure.
