There are various temperature control methods for electric heaters, mainly including the following:
1. Constant current control method
The constant current control method is to control the temperature of the electric heater by giving it a quantitative power supply, so that the current of the electric heater is kept constant. This method can make the temperature of the electric heater very stable, but it needs to adjust the voltage to make temperature adjustment. Its advantage is that the temperature control is relatively stable, but the flexibility of regulation is slightly inferior.
2. Constant voltage control method
Constant voltage control method is to provide a stable voltage to the heater to control its temperature. Because the voltage is stable and not affected by changes in the power supply, it can achieve very stable and high precision temperature control. However, it should be noted that when the ambient temperature changes, this method cannot automatically regulate the temperature and requires manual intervention or a combination of other control strategies.
3. PID control method
PID control method is an improved control strategy based on constant current and constant voltage control methods. It can adaptively adjust the control voltage according to the actual temperature of the electric heater to achieve higher precision and faster temperature control.The PID control method combines the three control strategies of Proportional (P), Integral (I) and Derivative (D) to better cope with a variety of temperature control needs.
4. Temperature control switch and overheating protection
In practice, the electric heat pipe temperature control is often combined with temperature control switch and overheating protection. Temperature control switch can be set according to the temperature automatically turn on or off the heating load, so as to control the temperature of the electric heating tube. The overheating protection function can be in the heating body temperature exceeds the set threshold when forced to disconnect the load, to prevent overheating damage to the electric heat pipe.
5. Configuration of temperature measurement and temperature control system
In order to more accurately control the temperature of the electric heating tube, you can also configure the product temperature measurement and temperature control system. Although this will increase the cost, but can significantly improve the accuracy and stability of temperature control. The temperature measurement system can monitor the temperature of the electric heat pipe in real time, and transmit the data to the temperature control system for processing and adjustment.
In summary, the temperature control methods of electric heat pipes are varied, and suitable control strategies can be selected according to the actual application requirements and scenarios. In practice, a variety of control methods can also be combined to achieve more efficient and stable temperature control.
