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 ...

If you think smart home, you might not imagine a temperature sensor, but there's a lot you can achieve with one of those and ...

TEC (thermoelectric-cooler) temperature-control systems often have limited stability. The causes of these limitations are the thermal properties of the system, not the performance of the control ...

According to Linear Technology’s Jim Williams, “The unfortunate relationship between servo systems and oscillators is very apparent in thermal control systems.” (Linear Applications Handbook, 1990).

This temperature profile is one of the principal reasons why we need a PID controller, which will be able to very accurately follow the required dwells and slopes, while also avoiding big oscillations ...
