TEMPERATURE PROFILE
Temperature Profile Analysis - Example
An example temperature profile with 6 segments is shown below.
1. (SEG1) Heating zone - Temperature ramps up to 100 celsius in 50 seconds
2. (SEG2) Heating zone - Temperature ramps up to 150 celsius in 60 seconds
3. Therefore it takes 110 seconds (50s + 60s) to get to 150 celsius
Calculating the Temperature Ramp Rate
The temperature ramp rate is calculated as the following:
Ramp rate = Temp. Change / Time
If two heating zones have the same temperature then the temperature stays constant.
1. (SEG1) Heating zone - Temperature ramps up to 100 celsius in 50 seconds
Ramp rate = 100 / 50
Ramp rate = 2 celsius / second
2. (SEG2) Heating zone - Temperature ramps up to 150 celsius in 60 seconds
Ramp rate = (150 - 100) / 60
Ramp rate = 0.833 celsius / second
