            Abstract : 
The inertia of temperature control system of heat exchange station is too large to be controlled by conventional control algorithm. The improper use of control algorithms usually results in low heating quality and large consumption of energy. The paper analyzes the technical characteristics of temperature control system of heat exchange station carefully, and makes a comprehensive comparison of the control effect and the algorithm mechanism between PID and ITGC (Intelligent Track Guiding Controller) based on first-order inertia element. Furthermore, a temperature control system of heat exchange station based on ITGC is designed. Actual control effect shows that ITGC has good control performance and is easy to be operated. It not only improves the heating quality, but also saves plenty of energy.
