Process/Temperature Controls

Process/Temperature control is a process in which change of temperature of a space (and objects collectively there within), or of a substance, is measured or otherwise detected, and the passage of heat energy into or out of the space or substance is adjusted to achieve a desired temperature.

Air-conditioners, space-heaters, refrigerators, water-heaters, etc. are examples of devices that perform temperature control. These are often broadly classified as Thermostatically Controlled Loads (TCLs).
