The difference between PID controlled heating and cooling circulator and Single Chip Microcomputer controlled heating and cooling circulator

In terms of control system

Higher level of intelligence:

By adopting advanced Single Chip Microcomputer operating system, more complex control logic and functions can be implemented, such as pre programming and adaptive control functions. Users can preset complex temperature change programs according to experimental needs, and the device will automatically control temperature according to the set curve, achieving precise time temperature matching. Adaptive control enables devices to automatically adjust control parameters based on changes in external conditions (such as load changes), ensuring continuous and accurate temperature control.


More convenient operation:

Equipped with a touch screen or remote control system, users can intuitively set temperature parameters, view real-time temperature curves and historical records, achieve intelligent operation and remote monitoring, greatly improving work efficiency and convenience.


Stronger data processing capability:

The Single Chip Microcomputer operating system has stronger data processing capabilities, which can quickly and accurately process the data collected by temperature sensors, and perform precise control based on it. At the same time, it can also easily interact and integrate with other devices or systems for data exchange.

The control algorithm is relatively fixed:

Mainly relying on PID control algorithm, although PID algorithm is widely used and effective in temperature control, its control logic is relatively fixed. For some complex temperature control requirements, manual continuous adjustment of PID parameters may be required to achieve better control effect.


The operating interface is relatively simple:

Generally equipped with a simple operation panel, it may not be able to intuitively display detailed information such as temperature curves and historical records, and the convenience and intuitiveness of operation are relatively poor.


Limited data processing and interaction capabilities:

The data processing capability is relatively weak, and the processing speed and accuracy of temperature data may not be as good as the Single Chip Microcomputer operating system, and the data interaction and integration capabilities with other devices or systems are also limited.



In terms of temperature control performance

Higher temperature control accuracy:

By using high-precision sensors and advanced control algorithms, the temperature control accuracy can reach ± 0.5 ℃ or even higher, which can meet the high requirements for temperature control accuracy in scientific research and production fields.


More stable temperature control:

Due to its intelligent control function, it can better cope with various interferences and changes, make temperature control more stable, reduce temperature fluctuations, and ensure the stability and consistency of experiments or production processes.


Faster heating and cooling rate:

Some devices have integrated microfluidic technology, which can achieve a more uniform temperature distribution and improve the rate of temperature rise and fall by precisely controlling the flow rate and direction of the circulating medium.


Heating and cooling circulator with PID program:


The temperature control accuracy is relatively low:

Although a certain degree of temperature control can also be achieved, the temperature control accuracy is generally around ± 0.5 ℃, which may not be able to meet some applications that require extremely high temperature accuracy.


Slightly poor temperature stability:

When facing external interference or load changes, the temperature may fluctuate to a certain extent, and it is necessary to manually adjust the PID parameters in a timely manner to restore temperature stability.


Slow heating and cooling rate: The heating and cooling rate is relatively slow, which may not meet some experimental or production requirements that require rapid heating and cooling.



In terms of functionality and scalability


Single Chip Microcomputer operating system heating and cooling circulator:


More comprehensive functions: In addition to the basic temperature control function, it also has various additional functions, such as a multifunctional alarm system and safety function, which can monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time, detect and handle various abnormal situations in a timely manner, and ensure the safety of the equipment and operators.


Stronger scalability: Due to its open operating system and powerful data processing capabilities, it is convenient for users to expand and develop functions according to their actual needs, such as adding data collection modules, linking and controlling with other devices, etc., to meet the diverse needs of different application scenarios.


Heating and cooling circulator with PID program:


Relatively single function:

Mainly focused on temperature control, with relatively few additional functions, it may not provide effective solutions for some special application requirements.


Limited scalability:

The closed nature of the system and the fixed control logic make its scalability poor, making it difficult for users to expand its functionality or engage in secondary development, and unable to adapt well to constantly changing application requirements.



Energy efficiency and environmental protection


Single Chip Microcomputer operating system heating and cooling circulator:


Higher energy efficiency:

By adopting more advanced energy-saving technologies and optimized control strategies, while ensuring temperature control performance, it can effectively reduce equipment energy consumption and improve energy utilization efficiency.


Better environmental performance:

We pay more attention to environmental protection and green requirements, and have optimized the design of refrigerants and equipment sealing to reduce environmental pollution.


Heating and cooling circulator with PID program:


Relatively low energy efficiency:

Traditional refrigeration technology and control methods may be used, which consume relatively high energy and increase energy costs during long-term operation.


Poor environmental performance:

Some older devices may use refrigerants that are less environmentally friendly, and the sealing performance of the equipment may not be as good as newer devices, which poses a certain risk of leakage and has a certain impact on the environment.


The Single Chip Microcomputer operating system significantly outperforms PID programmed heating and cooling circulator in terms of intelligence, temperature control accuracy, temperature stability, heating and cooling rate, functional richness, scalability, energy efficiency, and environmental performance. These advantages enable it to better meet the requirements of high precision, high stability, and high efficiency for temperature control in modern scientific research and industrial production.
