Abstract
A method of controlling a heating system includes providing at least one heater assembly having a plurality of heater units, each heater unit defining an independently controlled heating zone, supplying power to the independently controlled heating zones through a plurality of power conductors that are electrically connected to each of the independently controlled heating zones, determining a temperature, and modulating power supplied to the independently controlled heating zones through the power conductors based on the determined temperature to provide a desired power output along a length of the heater assembly.
