Some ideas?

it's means that a pcb part responsible for second top zone is broken. To make sure i changed second thermocouple and heater with first. Now there is no overshoot. But I have still problem with automatically shutdown. It is turning off after 1 or 2

http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/cooling.html this page has it right about minimizing AC energy use. With the wave, look at two machines. One you turn off, the other you let idle. The one that is turned off is using no power. The other one is

WML, I won't dispute math but I will definitely point out either bad math or a missed target. In your example, you are comparing "Energy used to heat the solder and keep it warm" versus "Energy used to keep the solder warm" and fully discount the fa

Just to clarify: I'd say that it will potentially save money by turning the wave off at night, but the savings are minimal. But...If your power rates are cheaper during off peak hours (at night) like some power companies offer, it may save you money

Or simple logic. 1. You are only replacing the heat that is lost. (once the solder has been melted one time). 2. The hotter the pot the faster you lose heat. Are either of those statements not true? Don't forget if you are talking about power then

You havn't compared bills. What makes you guys think you need more heat to remelt solder than it gave off solidifing? And don't confuse power and energy. Yes it takes more power to melt solder but for a shorter time. Where do you think the break e

Good calculation, i have to say. Do you forgot, If you let the machine cool down during night, the rest-temperature isn't roomtemperature? right, dont you think the temperature will be something about 140�C ??? heating up time then is not 3 hours. m

Your cost savings will be minimal over-all, depending on how many shifts you run. You cost saving will be zero if you use the timer on your machine. If the power goes out for a couple of hour during the night, your pot will be cold the next morning.

Nope, not at all. Uh-uh, no did not say that. Just had a lot of power outages here at nite that mess with the timing if you use the timer.
