Abstract
A temperature control apparatus detects an actual temperature of an object (e.g., sensor) to be controlled, and compares the actual temperature with a preset target temperature to obtain a difference therebetween, thereby keeping a heater temperature constant. The temperature control apparatus has a temperature rise rate limiter for controlling a temperature rise rate of the object to be controlled so as not to exceed a predetermined temperature rise rate. The object may thus not be damaged by thermal strain which results from a high temperature rise rate.
