In many different fields of research one of the most common types of laboratory instrumentation, temperature controllers has almost an unlimited capability for supporting experiments. To track the samples’ thermal conditions and sustain levels within dynamic or pre-defined temperature parameters is the main function of these instruments.
Usually, integration with different types of equipment is involved in this process, for example, thermocouple sensors that connect an electronic temperature controller to a cooling element or an external heating.
Under the term temperature controls several levels of lab instrumentation are widely grouped, including intuitive precision temperature controllers and dial-operated manual controls. To various prioritized factors each of these is capable of performing thermal monitoring processes. This article comprehensively looks at the present availability of some of the temperature controller options.
Basic Temperature Controllers
With the help of basic temperature controls and without majorly raising the cost of devices a level of automation is introduced to the temperature control process. To allow automatic regulation of temperatures to predetermined parameters such instruments are integrated with thermocouple inputs. When compared to a quantified measurement based on input voltage the instant benefit of these controllers is the accurate acquisition of thermal data.
For various applications basic temperature controllers are appropriate, thus decreasing the need for experiment micro-management. Conversely, for temperature critical processes they are not at all proposed.
