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 ...

Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) based on the Peltier effect can be used for general cooling, but more often they’re applied to maintain a precise temperature for subsystems and components. And unlike ...

Starting with the sensor, measuring and controlling temperature is an essential building block of process industries. Automatic control in continuous processes uses industrial control systems to ...

Only through proper troubleshooting and then solving the underlying problems can control loop performance be improved. Process design certainly plays a role in control loop performance, but experience ...

Thermal-liquid temperature control systems offer key benefits over other techniques of cooling and heating. Some benefits are low maintenance, efficiency, lack of cool or hot spots and the total ...

A temperature controller is an instrument that controls temperatures, often without extensive operator involvement. In a temperature controller system, the controller accepts a temperature sensor as ...

(Editor's additional note: if you are not familiar with the principles and analysis of PID control: you should be; It is the most important, studied, understandable, and applied closed-loop control ...

Sometimes, you need to test a circuit element over temperature, but it's impossible to put the entire application circuit in the temperature chamber. Freeze sprays and hair dryers are convenient for ...
