Understanding PID Temperature Controllers, A Guide to Applications and Specifications

What is a PID controller? PID stands for Proportional, Integral and Derivative. These are the variables that work to maintain the correct temperatures in a process. Proportional is the actual variance in temperatures. Integral is the previous variance from the setpoint temperature. Derivative is the predicted future variance. Together, they are closed loop control system that uses temperature and the rate of change to control the temperature of the process more accurately.

Introducing BriskHeat’s Heat Loss Calculator

BriskHeat has added an online Heat Loss Calculator to our website to assist our customers in determining their heating needs. This tool can be used for temperature maintenance, viscosity reduction, or process heating of liquids in vessels or flowing through pipes. Instructions include information required for the calculation, as well as tips to improve system design. In addition to the list of liquids and vessel materials, there is an option to manually customize the properties for materials not listed. This tool considers heat required for the vessel as well as the liquid, adding to the accuracy of the calculation. Ambient temperature and wind conditions that may require additional power are included. Use the insulation options to simulate energy savings by increasing insulation thickness or coverage area.
