Abstract :
Describes an experimental implementation of a multivariable adaptive control to the regulation of temperatures in an industrial multizone reheating furnace operating in a tube drawing plant at Podbrezova (middle Slovakia). The motivation for the experiments was to test the practical possibilities of the adaptive control algorithms in the reduction of fuel consumption in comparison to existing digital PID control of the furnace temperatures
