HVACR Temperature Control basics

The video tutorial explains the use of time control systems in heating, highlighting the transition from mechanical to electronic controllers. It covers advanced systems using programmable logic controllers for optimizing heating schedules based on occupancy and temperature. The tutorial discusses modulating thermal output to match load, using digital and analog sensors, and maintaining temperature with deadband settings. It also addresses valve control for system efficiency, emphasizing the importance of pressure sensors and variable speed pumps to maintain consistent flow rates.
