  Temperature Encyclopedia Article @ NaturalResearch.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Temperature is the physical property of a system which underlies the common notions of "hot" and "cold"; the material with the higher temperature is said to be hotter.
It is a fundamental parameter in thermodynamics and it is conjugate to entropy.
The temperature of a system at thermodynamic equilibrium is defined by a relation between the amount of heat δQ incident on the system during an infinitesimal quasistatic transformation, and the variation δS of its entropy during this transformation.

 The Heatsink Guide: DIY Temperature Control
The temperature at which the CPU (or case) should be kept cannot be adjusted by the user.
Also, coolers with a temperature control that can't be adjusted by the user are totally unsuitable for overclocking, since an overclocked CPU must usually be kept below a very precise temperature, at which it crashes.
Before you start using the temperature control, the temperature at which the CPU (or case, etc...) should be kept must be set.

 Temperature Controller Home Page
The temperature controller takes an input from a temperature sensor and has an output that is connected to a control element such as a heater or fan.
On-off control is usually used where a precise control is not necessary, in systems which cannot handle having the energy turned on and off frequently, where the mass of the system is so great that temperatures change extremely slowly, or for a temperature alarm.
Since temperature controllers are generally mounted inside an instrument panel, the panel must be cut to accommodate the temperature controller.

 humidity and temperature conditions | humidity control
For example, if the targeted condition is 23°C ±1°/50% RH ±2% and the recording device indicates a relative humidity control of +2%; instead of being within the required specification, it is certain that the requirement is not being met when uniformity and sensor accuracy are added to the control constancy.
For example, if there are plans to cycle temperature and humidity, ensure that the humidity sensor is temperature compensated for the anticipated cycling range and that its accuracy does not shift with temperature.
Control sensors should not be located down stream of major load producers or in the return duct.

 AquaLab Water Activity: Temperature Control
Temperature control appears to adhere to the calf-path metaphor by following where history has trod on a bumpy path.
There are three reasons for sample temperature control with the AquaLab: 1) to minimize extreme ambient temperature fluctuations; 2) to compare water activities of different samples independent of any effects temperature may have on their water activity; and 3) to comply with special government or corporate regulations on temperature control for specific products.
Since temperature can have a profound effect on the state of that matrix, (glassy vs. rubbery state) one should not be surprised that temperature affects the water activity of the food.

 Temperature Control
When the temperature inside the compartment is above the setting on the thermostat, a switch is closed which applies AC power to the compressor, causing the air inside to cool down.
An external temperature controller works in the identical fashion, in fact it is a thermostat.
The temperature is adjustable from 20 degrees F to 80 degrees F - a much wider range than you'll ever need.

 Adhesive, Sealant and Sealer Temperature Control Systems
The St. Clair Systems Temperature Control System, also known as a Material Conditioning System, performs a valuable and unusual function: accurate temperature control of high pressure, high viscosity, dead end (intermittent flow) dispensing of adhesives and sealers where both heating and cooling are typically required.
A temperature sensor located in the adhesive or sealer sends the material temperature to the PID controller, which automatically determines whether heating, cooling, or no action, is required.
Temperature Control Units are available in one, two, three, or four circuit configurations.

 Reactor Temperature Control
Inputs to the controller are desired base temperature, measured base temperature, measured pressure in the reactor.
Output signals of the controller adjust the heater and the electromagnetic valve for the cooling water in the reactor.
In a fuzzy logic based control system, we can take many factors into account when creating the controller, some of these factors are considered to be noises in a conventional control system and make controller design a very hard work.

 Temperature Control
This value should be zero for BT-1, so that the temperature is set to the ``temperature start'' value at the beginning of the buffer execution and not changed again for the remainder of the buffer.
Every time the temperature is changed, the system will pause the data acquisition until either the temperature is within the error specified by the Err field or until the wait time exceeds the maximum wait given in the Wait field.
Set the temperature controller parameters to the given values, where n1 is the gain, n2 the rate, n3 the reset, and n4 the power range on many controllers.

 Attaining proper temperature control, temperature measurement, and temperature testing.
The accurate control or monitoring of surface temperature is a critical aspect of many process operations.
The basis for accurate temperature control lies in the ability to accurately measure temperature either on the surface of a part (as in heat treating) or the ambient temperature around it during processing (sterilization for example).
And because these temperature monitoring products are designed to react at a specific temperature or temperature range, there is no need for re-setting or calibration like there is with expensive electronic temperature control systems.

 WPA > Temperature Control
Because of the higher initial viscosities of the waterless inks there is also a secondary heat generation in the roller train caused by the friction of milling the ink through the rollers.
This heat is why press temperature control systems are required to allow for the precise control of temperature within the printing unit.
The function of the temperature control system is to circulate enough coolant through the roller train to carry away the heat that is generated by the mechanical actions in the printing unit.

 Temperature Control Troubleshooting - The Virtual Weber Bullet
So, it's ironic that temperature control is one of the areas that frustrates new WSM owners most.
As discussed in greater detail on the Measuring Temperature In The WSM page, the temperature measured at the lid is 12-15°F higher than the actual temperature at the top cooking grate.
For example, a run-up in temperature late in a cooking session might be the result of 1) the cooker is now in full sun, no longer shaded by your house; and 2) the natural increase in cooker temperature that occurs as the meat takes on less heat energy.

 Thermoelectric Cooler Temperature Control
To suppress temperature fluctuation because of ambient temperature variation and uncertainties of the load condition, the controller must be capable of either sourcing or removing heat to maintain control without temperature overshoot or undershoot.
To minimize temperature variation, the PID control or other advanced control algorithms, such as adaptive PID control, must be used to enhance the system stability.

The slave controller must be at least four times faster than the master, and the inner slave, four times faster than the outer slave.
Since these two types of inlet temperature control would have different response times, it is difficult to estimate how much difference the response of a jacket outlet TC would be.
Then any disturbances to the inlet temperature (sticking valve, variations in supply temperature, etc.) would be handled in the lowest level loop, rather than propagating through to the jacket temperature.
