2. Thermistor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor

   Like the BaTiO 3 thermistor, this device has a highly nonlinear resistance/temperature response useful for thermal or circuit control, not for temperature measurement. Besides circuit elements used to limit current, self-limiting heaters can be made in the form of wires or strips, useful for heat tracing. PTC thermistors "latch" into a hot ...

3. List of temperature sensors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_temperature_sensors

   The integrated circuit sensor may come in a variety of interfaces — analogue or digital; for digital, these could be Serial Peripheral Interface, SMBus/I 2 C or 1-Wire.. In OpenBSD, many of the I 2 C temperature sensors from the below list have been supported and are accessible through the generalised hardware sensors framework [3] since OpenBSD 3.9 (2006), [4] [5]: §6.1 which has also ...

4. Thermostat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

   A thermostat exerts control by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or by regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the correct temperature. A thermostat can often be the main control unit for a heating or cooling system, in applications ranging from ambient air control to automotive coolant control.

5. Self-regulating heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-regulating_heater

   In some applications where the heating element is directly connected to the item being heated a self-regulating heater may also provide adequate temperature control of the item to be heated. However, many applications require control of two temperatures. For example, space heaters use heating elements much hotter than the room being heated. In ...

6. Inrush current limiter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current_limiter

   An NTC thermistor's resistance is low at high temperatures. When the circuit is closed, the thermistor's resistance limits the initial current. After some time, current flow heats the thermistor, and its resistance changes to a lower value, allowing current to flow uninterrupted. It is inherently impossible for 100% of supply voltage to appear ...

7. Temperature control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_control

   Temperature measuring and controlling module for microcontroller experiment. Temperature control is a process in which change of temperature of a space (and objects collectively there within), or of a substance, is measured or otherwise detected, and the passage of heat energy into or out of the space or substance is adjusted to achieve a desired temperature.
