Hey everyone
I'm a student on a budget and have a project that would be so much easier with automatic control.
What I need to do is increase the water temperature of a bath by 1C every hour. I would need the set water temperature regulated between temperature changes. I have a continuous source of water and all I need to do is increase that water temperature.
Here is what I am picturing:
- a flow-through holding tank with water flowing in at a rate that won't see the bath increase in temperature with heat from the room
- a heater submerged in the bath
- a digital, programmable controller that will switch the heater on/off to heat the water to the set point and then maintain temperature in the bath until the next temperature
How can I do this?
I have no idea how to set up controller systems. I have lots of heaters and stuff, it's the programmable control that's the tricky part.
Thanks for any help and ask me anything! I'll be watching and happy to answer.
