DEVELOPMENT OF A SYSTEM FOR MEASURING THE TEMPERATURE OF A DRYING UNIT FOR MONITORING THE DRYING PROCESS OF KURT

The aim of the work is to develop a temperature measurement system using DS18B20 and prepare for further study of the drying process of kurt, checking the operability of the connection to the Arduino Nano controller. Nine sensors of this system will allow in the future to conduct an experiment and collect information about the temperature inside the kurt in real time during the drying process, which will confirm the reliability of the sensor unit and the drying unit for kurt as a whole. Installation of the sensor and controller was successful, which confirms the first results of idle measurement and monitoring of all temperature sensors using the Terminal 1,9b program. The temperature range of the sensors is calculated from -55°C to + 125°C, which makes it suitable for operation in a wide range of industrial conditions. The results of the study have practical value for subsequent experiments on drying kurt and other food products, as well as for monitoring the process of food products in real time. This installation method can be applied to other food equipment. They can contribute to the optimization of the drying process by monitoring the drying process, which is an important factor for the efficiency of control and improving the quality of the product.
