摘要： A water heating system can include a water heater having a tank, and a first temperature sensor disposed toward a top end of the tank to measure a first temperature and a second temperature sensor disposed toward a bottom end of the tank to measure a second temperature. The water heating system can further include a controller communicably coupled to the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor, where the controller determines an amount of heated water in the tank based on a plurality of algorithms and measurements made by the first and second temperature sensors. The plurality of algorithms solves for at least one calculated temperature for at least one point between a first location of the first temperature sensor and a second location of the second temperature sensor, where the at least one calculated temperature is used to determine the amount of heated water in the tank.

摘要： A glue rewarming device includes a glue pipe, a main body, a plurality of temperature sensors, a timer, and a control terminal. Each glue pipe is configured to receive glue. The main body defines the grooves spaced apart from each other. Each groove is configured to receive one glue pipe. Each temperature sensor is in one groove and on an inner wall of the one groove. The temperature sensor is configured to sense a temperature of the glue in the glue pipe inserted into the corresponding groove. The timer is configured to record a time point when the glue pipe is placed in one groove and a time length from the time point when the glue pipe is placed in one groove to the time when the glue in the glue pipe reaches a target temperature. The control terminal is electrically connected to the timer and the temperature sensors.

摘要： A beverage preparation machine includes a thermal conditioning device, such as a heater or cooler. The thermal conditioning device contains a control unit for controlling a start-up phase of the thermal conditioning device from a temperature of inactivity to an operative temperature. The control unit includes a controller with a start-up profile for starting-up the thermal conditioning device, and the start-up profile has at least one parameter. The controller has a self-learning mode for adjusting the at least one parameter. A temperature sensor is connected to the controller for measuring a temperature of the thermal conditioning device. The self-learning mode causes the controller during a start-up phase to: calculate a ramp value representative of a rate of change in temperature during the start-up phase of the thermal conditioning device; adjust the at least one parameter as a function of the adjusted ramp value; and use the adjusted at least one parameter for a remainder of the start-up phase.
