Temperature Control
Temperature Control functionality is when a thermal control is utilized in an application to control or regulate the temperature of a heated application. The primary function of the thermal control is to maintain a defined operating temperature which a design engineer has determined to provide for optimum performance of the end application. In these applications, the thermal control device will open and close at a preset temperature which will regulate the operating temperature of some type of heater.
This is the most difficult application type for thermal controls since the controls are required upon to carry the full electrical load of the application. However, the devices that provide functionality in these applications are designed, construction, and tested to provide optimum performance under these conditions.
