Conventional thermostats are based on separate temperature sensor and heater devices with means for feedback between them. But in some recent EDN design ideas (DIs) we’ve seen thermostat designs that ...

The MOSFET in Figure 1 is used as both a heater and a temperature sensor in a thermostatic circuit. Figure 1 Circuit diagram for using a MOSFET as a thermostatic heater. The circuit can be used as a ...

When it comes to water temperature, a lot of us are like Goldilocks: We don't want it too hot or too cold, but just right. What you might not realize is that there are real ramifications for having ...

If you have a house, you probably have some sort of hot water heater. But there’s no universal temperature for “hot” water—this is something you have to set yourself. So what’s the ideal hot water ...
