7. Temperature program selector 

 

Temperature  program  selector,  which  is  also  called  a  driver,  is  a  unit  of  two 

cooperating modules – a temperature adjuster and an electronic clock. The main feature 
which distinguishes it from an ordinary temperature adjuster is a function of temperature 
increase control in a specific time.

Glossary 
 

program  selector

  -  (driver)  –  temperature  adjuster  with  the  control  of  temperature 

increase, its holding and decrease in the furnace; 
 

temperature  increase

  –  monitored  temperature  increase  (heating)  in  the  furnace 

chamber, its value is defined with the use of the unit: [

o

C/min], it is illustrated with the 

rising line; 
 

cooling

  –  a  kind  of  temperature  increase,  but  in  the  opposite  direction,  its  value  is 

defined with the unit: 

o

C/min, it is illustrated with the falling line; 

 

temperature  holding

  –  holding  the  fixed  temperature  which  has  been  reached  in  the 

previous  section,  it  is  defined  with  the  time  unit:  [min],  it  is  illustrated  with  a  straight 
line; 

 

programme

 – a list of subsequent sections which constitute the instructions concerning 

the way of heating, set by the founder in the program selector; 
 

section

 – a part of programme describing the performance of the program selector in a 

given time; 

 

delay

 – a function of the program selector which enables initiating the previously saved 

programme with the time delay; 
 

temperature  priority

  –  a  function  of  the  program  selector  which  operates  in  the 

background of each section, which is aimed at stopping the count of time in the section 
when the furnace chamber is under-heated in the ±5

 o

C band; 

 

restoring  of  power  supply

  –  a  function  of  the  program  selector  that  enables  the 

continuation  of  the  burn  out  process  after  the  power  supply  is  restored  in  the  situation 
when power supply was cut off;
