DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE RESPONSE TIME OF A TEMPERATURE CONTROL DEVICE

시스템(2)은 (a) 온도제어장치(10); (b) 주에너지원; (c) (i) 보조에너지원; (ii) 전환장치(30); (iii) 측정장치(40,42); 및 (iv) 선택적으로 제어기;를 포함하는 전자장치, 전자-기계장치, 또는 전자장치 및 전자-기계장치(22);를 포함하고, 여기서 온도제어장치는 작동시 보조에너지원에 연결되고; 측정장치는 소정의 조건을 측정하고, 온도제어장치가 소정의 조건을 달성하면 전환장치는 보조에너지원으로부터 주에너지원으로 전환하고; 그리고 소정의 조건은 약 60초 이하에서 달성된다. A system that includes a temperature-controlled device, a primary energy source that is adapted to supply primary energy to the temperature-controlled device, a secondary energy source that is adapted to supply secondary energy to the temperature-controlled device, a switching device, and a measuring device. The secondary energy includes a voltage that is different than a voltage of the primary energy. The secondary energy source is adapted to supply the secondary energy to the temperature-controlled device when the temperature-controlled device is turned ON. After the measuring device measures a predetermined condition of the temperature-controlled device, the switching device is adapted to switch the system such that the primary energy source supplies the primary energy to the temperature-controlled device so that the temperature of the temperature-controlled device is generally maintained at a pre-set temperature or at a user selected temperature.
