Abstract
Household bathroom products are facing the problems of input water temperature fluctuation and effluent temperature control delay, which brings trouble to consumers. This essay will propose a solution that controls the water temperature at the effluent end by adding a water tank and an electrical heater. The author establishes a mathematical model of the water tank and calculates the transfer functions of different parts of the control system. He also chooses a PID controller as the core of the closed-loop system. A feedforward control system is built into the design to reduce the effect of the disturbance. Simulink software is used to conduct the simulation experiment. The result of the simulation shows that the change in heat provided by the heater has the ability to control the temperature of the output water. Additionally, the feedforward control system can reduce the influence of the input water temperature effectively.
