Despite the common perception of temperature control as a mature and largely unchanging area of technology, applications such as injection-molding processes increasingly require not only precise ...

A common concern for gas turbine power plants is treating exhaust gases to comply with laws restricting pollutants present in the gases that are emitted into the ambient atmosphere. The challenge for ...

Repairing reach-in coolers and freezers with electronic temperature controllers can be challenging at times. Some failures are easy to troubleshoot and repair, but others can be frustrating. For ...

Beer lovers rejoice! [Mats] has reverse engineered a temperature controller and written new open source firmware for it. This effectively gives all us homebrewers a low cost, open source software ...

Sensor response time is an important factor in control loop performance. In general, faster-responding sensors lead to better control loop performance. For steam temperature control in a fossil-fired ...

Biological reactions are very sensitive to changes in environmental factors. For this reason, bioreactors must have excellent temperature control and heat exchange capabilities. PolyScience are market ...

When the thermistor temperature is below a set value the voltage at pin 2 of the 555 drops below 1/3 of Vcc. This turns on the triac controlled heater and also starts the timing cycle. If the ...

If you wanted to, say, control a temperature you might think you could just turn on a heater until you reach the desired temperature and then turn the heater off. That sort of works, but it is ...
