Abstract
A method of temperature control for maintaining actual temperature at a set point uses a learning period from which to acquire parameters that are used to control temperature. The method defines a learning period as one complete oscillation of the actual temperature about the set temperature. During such an oscillation period, the actual temperature will have been exclusively above and below the set temperature for one segment each. The invention provides a method for adjusting a variable in order to maintain a process measurement at a predetermined constant value, the method defining a sample period, wherein the sample period is a period of time represented by a complete oscillation of the process measurement about the predetermined constant value and wherein the complete oscillation includes a first time period during which the adaptable measurement is continuously above the predetermined constant value and a second time period during which the adaptable measurement is continuously below the predetermined value and wherein the first time period and second time period occur substantially sequentially.
