Abstract:
An automated bottle temperature control system comprising;an enclosure having an opening formed therein,a heating element contained within said enclosure,a bottle rack fitted inside the enclosure at a top of the enclosure, said rack having multiple compartments for holding bottles of liquid,means for filling the enclosure with a liquid to be heated for heating the contents of the bottles,liquid level sensing and control means for indicating a low level of liquid in the enclosure to an operator of the system and for disconnecting power supply to the heating element in response to a sensed low liquid level in the enclosure,temperature control means for maintaining the liquid in the enclosure at a predetermined temperature, said control means comprising; multiple temperature sensors for sensing the liquid temperature and providing a signal representative of the liquid temperature, a comparator for comparing said signal to a set point signal and switch means responsive to the comparator output signal for operating a switching means to regulate supply of direct current power supply to the heating element.
