  2. Control loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_loop

    The control action is the switching on or off of the boiler. The process variable is the building temperature. This controller operates the heating system for a constant time regardless of the temperature of the building. In a closed-loop control system, the control action from the controller is dependent on the desired and actual process variable.

  3. Thermopile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermopile

    The two top thermocouple junctions are at temperature T 1 while the two bottom thermocouple junctions are at temperature T 2. The output voltage from the thermopile, ΔV , is directly proportional to the temperature differential, ΔT or T 1 - T 2 , across the thermal resistance layer and number of thermocouple junction pairs.

  4. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    The distinguishing feature of the PID controller is the ability to use the three control terms of proportional, integral and derivative influence on the controller output to apply accurate and optimal control. The block diagram on the right shows the principles of how these terms are generated and applied.

  5. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    The advantage of the low voltage control system is the ability to operate multiple electromechanical switching devices such as relays, contactors, and sequencers using inherently safe voltage and current levels. [15] Built into the thermostat is a provision for enhanced temperature control using anticipation.

  6. Control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_system

    The definition of a closed loop control system according to the British Standards Institution is "a control system possessing monitoring feedback, the deviation signal formed as a result of this feedback being used to control the action of a final control element in such a way as to tend to reduce the deviation to zero." [2]

  7. Bang–bang control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang–bang_control

    Hence, the regulated temperature is like a sliding mode of the variable structure system setup by the bang–bang controller. Symbol for a bang–bang control. In control theory, a bang–bang controller (hysteresis, 2 step or on–off controller), is a feedback controller that switches abruptly between two states.

  8. Closed-loop controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_controller

    The control action is the switching on/off of the boiler, but the controlled variable should be the building temperature, but is not because this is open-loop control of the boiler, which does not give closed-loop control of the temperature. In closed loop control, the control action from the controller is dependent on the process output. In ...

  9. External Active Thermal Control System - Wikipedia

    The EATCS is capable of rejecting up to 70 kW, and provides a substantial upgrade in heat rejection capacity from the 14 kW capability of the Early External Active Thermal Control System (EEATCS) via the Early Ammonia Servicer (EAS), which was launched on STS-105 and installed onto the P6 Truss.
