This study examines the control of the cooling fan speed as an effective means of reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds during three-dimensional layer-by-layer printing. The high extrusion temperatures used in modern high-speed printers lead to emissions of harmful volatile organic compounds, which poses health risks in poorly ventilated rooms. A mathematical model has been developed to establish a quadratic relationship between the fan speed and the volumetric air flow, which directly affects the deposition of volatile organic compounds on the melt surface. The experimental setup uses relay control of the motor current and proportional-integral-differentiating speed control, ensuring rapid stabilization of the air flow with minimal overshoot. From the analysis of transient characteristics, including motor current, fan speed, airflow velocity, and power consumption, it is shown that precise control of fan speed creates stable and predictable airflow movement, significantly reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds. In addition, the results show that integrating the feedback of the volatile organic compounds sensor in real time with the control of the extrusion rate can offer an even more adaptive and effective strategy for reducing emissions. This research lays the foundation for safer and more efficient 3D printing processes with layer-by-layer deposition modeling through improved temperature and emission management.

The desliming process plays a key role in mineral processing technology, ensuring efficient particle separation based on their magnetic properties. The article examines the issues arising from the use of traditional magnetic deslimers under elevated slurry temperatures. One of the main drawbacks of existing methods is the decrease in magnetite density as temperature rises, which impairs separation quality and leads to losses of the valuable product. The article explores the physical aspects of this problem and proposes methods for its mitigation, including control of the magnetic field strength to optimize flocculation. It also considers the possibility of upgrading deslimers by replacing permanent magnets with electromagnets, enabling more precise process control. Magnetic field modeling with ANSYS Maxwell software confirms the effectiveness of the proposed solutions. The work’s primary focus is the development of a hybrid intelligent control system for the desliming process. The proposed system consists of three control loops: water supply, electromagnet excitation current, and desliming discharge. Each loop is managed by proportional–integral–derivative regulators, which are automatically adjusted based on data regarding changing slurry parameters and external conditions. Applying these methods can significantly improve the quality of the iron ore concentrate, increase the iron content in the product, reduce losses in tailings, and ensure stable equipment operation under varying environmental conditions.

Existing methods of dealing with wear and tear struggle with the effect of the problem not the cause. One of the ways to reduce the intensity of wear of roller barrels is to develop a method of controlling the speed of the feeding machin, which reduces the mismatch between the speeds of rollers and rolled products without violating the known technological requirements for creating pulling and braking forces. Disclosed is an algorithm for calculating speed adjustment based on metal tension which compensates for roller wear and reduces friction force. Modeling of the system with the developed algorithm showed the elimination of speed mismatch during material tracking and therefore it will reduce the intensity of roller wear.

A laboratory circuit of the installation with a heat exchanger-supercharger in the hot water circuit of the boiler has been developed. The conducted studies have shown that the temperature of hot water at the outlet changes depending on the oscillation frequency of the electromagnetic valve at a given flow rate, and the highest efficiency of water heating is observed at a frequency of 1.75 Hz. Calculation of the heat transfer coefficient showed that at a steady-state flow rate, the heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger-supercharger is 180 W / (m ^ 2 ° C). Then, with increasing frequency, the heat transfer coefficient smoothly decreases and reaches a minimum of 173 W / (m ^ 2 ° C) at 1.0 Hz. With a further increase in frequency, the heat transfer coefficient begins to increase and reaches a maximum of 188 W / (m ^ 2 ° C) at 1.75 Hz. As a result of the experiment, it was also found that with increasing frequency, the flow rate in the hot water circuit increases and reaches a maximum at a frequency of 1.75 Hz Q = 0.6 l / sec. That is, at such a frequency, the heat exchanger-supercharger, due to the oscillations of the liquid flow in the first circuit (cold water circuit), most effectively transmits the oscillations of the flow to the second circuit (hot water circuit), which can be used to reduce the power of the pump in the hot water circuit at this frequency.
