This paper report design and implementation of a fuzzy logic based temperature controller in a vacuum distiller. The distiller is operated in nearly vacuum condition to improve capability of producing high concentrated bioethanol. Due to high heating power necessity, temperature control was performed manipulating AC voltage to heating elements. An Arduino based Fuzzy Logic control strategy was proposed, and its performance was compared to PID controller. Experimental results show that fuzzy logic controllers have better performance in controlling temperature of vacuum distiller. © Research India Publications.
